Here is a second upcycle project using a Ningxia Red glass bottle.
Materials:
Chalkboard Spray Paint
Decorative Rope or Sisal Twine
Tag or Sign
Bottle Candle Holder

And, of course, a bottle…


Just spray with chalkboard paint and decorate – do a couple of light coats so you don’t get drips.
I randomly wrapped twine around the upper part of the bottle and tied in a knot and then a bow, adding a color to accent the bow. The twine is very easy to work with. I wasn’t careful, I just wrapped it around until I ran out of twine.

Use this project to experiment – you can’t really mess this up. Just decorate it in a way that you like, in a way that will go with your decor.
I added a curtain clip on the twine at the knot on the bottle neck and clipped on a couple of different cardboard stickers as decoration. It’s the same kind of clip I used on the sign in my kitchen. I’ve used them in other crafts too – like my picture frame turned tool holder.



I found the candle holder for $3.00 on clearance at a consignment shop in Virginia. Amazon has one listed for $19.99. I used high quality cardboard stickers from Hobby Lobby (50% off, of course) for the finishing touches.

BTW…
I’ve been working on a new craft room – I highly recommend setting aside part of your house for a craft room, craft corner, or a craft closet. It’s so much easier to be creative if you have all of your supplies within your grasp.
I’ll have a reveal soon!
Pinterest has some pretty fabulous craft rooms you can glean ideas from – you should check them out. Search “craft rooms.”
Follow my board CRAFT ROOMS.
I found the bottle candle holder at a cute little antiquey country shop in the nearby town of Minoqua.

Just think.
People throw these bottles away. With little effort it’s turned into a unique decorative candle holder. The candles came from the dollar store.


Use the clip to announce a special day, leave a note for your DH, or display a random quote.
If you can’t find a clip, you can use a decorative paperclip or check out the smash book aisle for other options.

Warm and inviting homes have unique decor.

What a beautiful decorator item for your home. Thank you so much for linking up to Thriving on Thursdays. I often visit our local tip shop and I'll be looking out for bits and pieces to make one of these for my outdoor area!

Hi. Did you remove the writing from the bottle? If so, how? Thanks.

No, I just painted right over it!
