Our wedding was held in a vineyard, so I thought using wine bottles as our centerpiece was only right!
I cut the tops off of green wine bottles, then etched the rims with Krylon Glass Etching spray. This is incredibly easy! So much more so than I had originally thought. There is already so many instructables on how to cut glass, that I am not going to make my own... Look up your favorite method, cut your piece, file the edges, and come back here! Go on...I'll wait!
Materials Used:
masking tape
old newspaper
cut wine bottles, edges sanded
Krylon Frosted Glass Finish Spray(white frosted)
1. Decide how much of your bottle you want 'etched'. I did the top inch for the rim. Tape off a straight line underneath where you want the etched look to stop. Using your old newspapers, cover the rest of your bottle and tape it off. You don't want any stray spray to mess up your vase!
2. Apply your spray on even strokes. I recommend wearing protective gloves and eye wear for this part. Turn the vase by the bottom while spraying. Follow the directions on the can!
3. I let mine dry overnight before removing the tape and paper.
Each one was used as a votive holder, clustered as a centerpiece for my wedding. The votive holders each got a small pumpkin orange candle, with leaf shaped paper confetti scattered around them. I thought they turned out just lovely, paired with the little amber wine bottles(un-etched).
The vineyard ended up buying some from me...the rest of the green are used as vases or votive holders around the house, and the amber ones were added to my husband's bar.

They only attack you out of insecurity. Youve been doing this stuff longer than some of them have been alive
