Painted wine bottles make a perfect vase or centerpiece for flowers. Similar to these Polka Dot Wine Bottles, this craft requires minimal time for such a beautiful outcome!

Painted Wine Bottles – an Easy Upcycled Wine Bottle Craft

Now, I’m not going to tell you how you should empty them, but you will need a few clean and empty wine bottles for this craft. Speaking of wine, this would be a fantastic craft project for a craft and wine party!

You could easily spray paint the bottles beforehand, and then let everyone paint their wine bottles however they like. Then everyone can go home with an upcycled wine bottle vase. So fun!

Painted Wine Bottles

You will need these supplies to make your own painted bottles

  • Empty and clean wine bottles – I prefer this method to remove the labels from glass bottles
  • Scrap cardboard or surface for spray paint
  • White spray paint
  • Three colors of acrylic craft paint or chalk paint
  • Paint brush


Supplies needed for painted wine bottles

Painted Wine Bottles – The Tutorial

In a well-ventilated area (outdoors is best) spray paint the wine bottles white. Start with a thin layer. Let dry. Then repeat 2-3 times, changing your angle frequently, until the bottles are completely covered. Let the spray paint dry.

Grab your colored paint. Feel free to choose whatever colors you like, or ones that work with your home décor, since these painted bottles make nice vases for fresh flowers.

painting top of wine bottle

Paint each bottle. Start at with the neck of the bottle, painting around the top. Then add vertical brush strokes around the neck.

Then paint the base of the bottle. Paint with horizontal strokes around the base of the bottle, then add vertical strokes as high up the side of the bottle as you like.

Painting Wine Bottles

Let dry completely. Then add another light layer of paint for best coverage.

Repeat with two more bottles.

Painted Wine Bottles Step 4

NOTE: be very careful where you hold the bottle when you paint all the way around. I may have ended up with paint on my hand and a large hand print on the bottle during my first attempt!

Super simple painted wine bottles!

I made this upcycled craft using wine bottles, but I think it would look fantastic using any other glass bottle that you can find in your recycling bin. You could even give it a try with Mason jars, or give them a coastal look with my sea glass lanterns! Have a coastal themed home? You’ll love these coastal-inspired textured wine bottles!

    Would you be able to use different jars, make candles in them, and then use this craft to decorate the candle jars? Thank you!

      The trick to spray paint is doing multiple very light coats and applying in a sweeping motion. This is a good article to help you https://www.krylon.com/how-to/faqs/application/how-do-i-apply-spray-paint-evenly.jsp#:~:text=Spray%20project%20using%20several%20thin,one%2Dthird%20with%20each%20pass

    One problem I have is I do clean the bottle, I rub it down with rubbing alcohol, I paint on a layer of gesso. It doesnt matter if I let it dry for an hour or a day when I go to paint on the 2nd layer it rubs off the 1st layer. Have you had this problem? What can I do?

      I’ve never used gesso on glass before, I just paint directly on the bottle. That may be the issue!

    After I put the colors of paint I want onto bottles, they dry really nice and look good. Then a week later the paint begins to chip off. Shall i put varnish on it? Or what shall i do?,

      H Diana. A couple of things that I can think of… did you wash and dry the bottles really well? Also, after washing them, be sure to rinse them with rubbing alcohol.
