Don't toss your empty wine bottles! Not when you can turn them into beautiful home decor with a little craft paint.

Supplies
Empty and clean wine bottles
Scrap cardboard or surface for spray paint
White spray paint
Three colors of acrylic craft paint or chalk paint
Paint brush
Instructions
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.
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.
Let dry completely. Then add another light layer of paint for best coverage.
Repeat with two more bottles.
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!
