French Wine Bottle DIY

One day while browsing through an antique mall I spotted this canvas covered French wine bottle. Once I brought my purchase home I never really found a place to put it. Everywhere I placed the bottle it just looked a little boring to me so it has been tucked in a basket for several years. I always thought it would look better with some writing or numbers on it but I was afraid I might screw it up.

I made a pledge to myself on this  post  that I would not keep anything in our home that I did not love. At that time I can honestly say that I liked the bottle but it wasn’t love. I set out to change that.

 

Here is the Antique wine bottle before.
Country French Magazine
I used Word to type and print what I wanted on the bottle.  A piece of carbon paper
was taped to the bottle and then the sheet with the printed words on top.  Using a pen
I  traced over the words to get an outline.  The letters were then filled in with a black
paint pen.
Here’s the final result!
My bottle is smaller than the inspiration one so I used less words.
Now I am infatuated with the bottle and I think I may be falling in love
I also added the numbers to a $3.00 GW  basket
My sweet friend Andrea of  French Basketeer and Metis Linens  knows I love everything French and especially hand blown wine bottles. She bought this wonderful clear bottle from her favorite antique dealer in Beaune and sent it to me. I was absolutely blown away by her generosity and kindness. I am so very touched by her gift…From the bottom of my heart Thank You, Andrea.

  2. Hi Sherry,
    I finally got into your blog. Blogger was acting up again and refused to let me visit! LOL!
    Anyway, I'm in love with your burlap covered bottle and adding the words makes it even better.
    I also like the vingette you created on your table.

  13. Sherry your entire vignette is so perfect you put all the right elements together for texture and feel. Love it!!! Aren't you so glad that you took the risk to make the bottle YOURS with our special touch. I love the look and I am in love with the mirror above your console table!!! KS

  31. I haven't seen a bottle wrapped like this either. It is really cool and the stencil makes it much more so. I haven't had a sunny day to take home pics and send to you Sherry, but I will as soon as it the sun shines! I posted your button on the sidebar and can't wait to see the first home you feature.

  57. Amazing!!! I love what you did with the stencil idea. So great! And how fun that you work in an antique store. That is a dream 🙂

  58. Wonderful project- it turned out great! 🙂 I really love the arrangement you've used it in as well- that table is beautiful, and I adore the wicker baskets! My first visit to your blog, but I'll definitely be back for more ideas.

    I'm currently working on a project of my own, decorating some garden containers I've made from old buckets. Hope it turns out even half as well as yours!

I'm your newest follower and I'm looking forward to being inspired. I'd love for you to pay me a visit over at Brambly. Take care!
