So. Many. Wine. Bottles.

KentuckyWineBride, on July 3, 2016 at 2:41 PM Posted in Do It Yourself 0 38

Spent all day yesterday painting wine bottles. We used Krylon metallic gold and matte champagne. Just some tips if you are soaking bottles and then spray painting.

I put all my wine bottles in a laundry baskets. Filled up the bath tub with super hot water, scoops of Oxy Clean, and dish soap. Soak them for hours. Use a Brillo that has the steel tips. Then soak again to get the leftover residue.

The metallic gold sprayed so easily. The champagne was more difficult and took more cans to cover. Buy a handle to attach to your spray cans (only like $3) saved our fingers. Here's the before and after.

    We did a test run with a can of chalkboard spray paint. Best invention ever! No drips, no mess. We're going to make 100 of them for our guests to write their names on.

    How FMIL stores them. She labeled the table numbers on them and wrapped with paper towels to prevent chips.

    We sprayed some frames we got from Goodwill. Perfect for our program sign.

    @JaRocka we did not. The paint seems like really good quality. It's indoor only, but it really seems like it'll stay on. Especially since we're just storing and using for decor.

    @Kristy lol FH probably wanted to do the same yesterday. He carried tubs and tubs of bottles. Then he sprayed a bunch with chalkboard paint. This is probably my favorite idea. We're going to write our menu on each bottle like "pulled pork" "smoked turkey". We'll set each bottle near that food.

    Use chalkboard spray paint!!! So much easier than the paint. No mess, no drips.
