- Once the first coat is dry, paint each bottle with a second coat. Allow to dry fully.Yellow Chalk Paint , Black Chalk Paint, Red Chalk Paint , Foam paint brushes
- After the second coat is dry, use fine grit sandpaper to lightly smudge up the paint. Be careful not to overdo it.
- Flip the bottle to the side that you want to be the back and add a dab of hot glue to the back where you will begin to wrap the twine. Wind the twine around the center of the bottle making sure you are pulling it tightly with each turn of the bottle. Cut the twine so the end piece matches the side you want to be the back. Glue the end piece down.
- Allow the bottle vase to dry completely. Once dried, re-check the twine and use a drop of hot glue to secure any twine that is loose.
- Fill with fake flowers, fake greenery, cotton buds and more.False Flowers and Greenery
