I also plan on posting more of my DIY projects that i've been working on, starting with the gifts I made for my mom and my mother-in-law for Christmas: Yarn & Twine wrapped wine bottles!
Supplies Needed:
4 empty wine bottles
Yarn
2 rolls of 120ft twine
mod podge
accessories to write the letters
hot glue gun
scissors
First I started prepping the bottles by soaking them in warm water in our sink to get the labels off and any leftover residue on the inside of the bottles. Then once the bottles are clean and dry, get your twine or yarn ready to start wrapping. Apply mod podge around the top of the bottle where you'll start wrapping, make sure to leave some of the yarn to wrap over to secure it and pull it tight.
When you get to the curve of the bottle, it gets a little tricky so you'll need to apply more mod podge and make sure to pull the yarn tight, but not too tight otherwise it'll start to bunch (like it did at the top of my first bottle). Then when you get to about 1/4 of an inch from the bottom of the bottle, add more mod podge around the bottom, then secure the end with it. Each bottle takes approximately 20-30 minutes to wrap, I wrapped all 8 bottles while watching movies, it also helped being snowed in too :).
Once the mod podge dries, you can add your accessories to them. I got all of my materials from Michaels, as well as the little accessories to spell out the words. Both mom's loved their gifts! My hubby liked them soo much too that I'll have to make a set for us! :)
I hope everyone enjoyed my post and had a safe and Happy New Year!
