I am thrilled to be sharing one more project from our recycled-bottles-that-I-just-cannot-let-go-of today. After we finished with our Thanksgiving Centerpiece and our Advent Wreath I was supposed to throw these bottles out, but I just couldn’t bring myself to do it. So we packed and moved a holiday decoration that was purposed for the garbage to a new state and can I tell you, I am giddy that we did.
Because I added a small square of chalk-board paint, wrote out the word LOVE.
Bought a few pink tulips,
and made this…
Which, I think might be my favorite project yet,
and so incredibly easy to make.
In case you missed the Advent Wreath tutorial here are the simple steps to create these vases:
- Collect a few wine bottles
- Spray paint them white, doing multiple light coats to prevent dripping
- Using a felt brush paint on two coats of chalkboard paint in an imperfect square, centered on the front
- Write in the word LOVE
- Add water and then a few simple, pretty flowers
They make me smile. I am excited to share with you tomorrow a few other lovely items going into the store to continue our Black & White LOVE for this Valentines Day.

Wow, I should have saved my Christmas bottles I spray painted. These are so cute.

These are fabulous. Isn’t spray paint the greatest?! I have a large wine bottle I’m gonna have to try this on and add a black design that goes with some other stuff I have. Thanks for the great idea.
