Supplies
- Empty Wine Bottles (cleaned and dried)
- Acrylic Paint or Spray Paint (pastel colors work best)
- Jute Twine or Yarn (in natural or pastel colors)
- Hot Glue Gun & Glue Sticks
- Scissors
- Decorative Elements (buttons, paper bunnies, faux flowers, stickers, or fabric cutouts)
- Mod Podge or Craft Glue
Instructions
You can make three different styles of bottles, like the ones shown in the picture:
1. Painted Bottle with Easter Egg Designs – for a bold and modern look.
2. Twine-Wrapped Bottle with a Bunny Silhouette – for a cozy farmhouse style.
3. Soft Yarn-Wrapped Bottle with a Flower Accent – for a delicate and romantic touch.
Option 1: Painted Easter Bottle with Egg Cutouts
Spray or paint the bottle in a bright Easter color, like red, yellow, or pastel pink. Let the paint dry completely. Then, cut out Easter egg shapes from pretty paper or fabric. Use Mod Podge or glue to stick them onto the bottle in a line up and down. Let it dry, and your Easter bottle is all done!
Option 2: Twine-Wrapped Bunny Bottle
Start by putting a little hot glue near the bottom of the bottle. Then, tightly wrap jute twine around the bottle, going up. Add more glue as you go to keep the twine in place. When the whole bottle is wrapped, cut a bunny shape out of craft paper or felt and glue it on. Make it even cuter by decorating with buttons or little fake flowers!
Option 3: Soft Yarn-Wrapped Floral Bottle
Wrap a wine bottle in pastel-colored yarn using the same method as the Twine-Wrapped Bunny Bottle. Secure the yarn with hot glue as you wrap. Next, attach a big fake flower to the top for a beautiful effect. You can also add smaller flowers or other pretty things around the bottle for a soft and elegant finish.
