Living in South Florida, the weather never quite catches up to the correct seasons until the very end but that doesn’t mean one can’t get into the fall spirit! I mean it does get into the low 70’s at night so I will take what I can get. Lately, I have become a huge fan of anything burlap and twine (you will shortly learn) and I love the idea of any and everything DIY. My home décor varies but usually falls between super girly, shabby chic and somewhat of a rustic vibe. I have a lot of burlap pieces ranging from placemats, pillows to even picture frames and boxes. And I thought these DIY wine bottles would make the perfect teeny tiny addition to my small dining area.
What will you need to get started? Not much actually.
- Empty wine bottles (easy, if you are a wino like
me) see photo below for proof. - Jute twine (I bet different colors of jute would
be pretty too! – Like THIS one - Assorted ribbon or flowers for extra pizazz
- Super tacky glue or hot glue
All of these items can be purchased at your local craft store.
Step one: Starting at the very bottom of your wine bottle, draw glue in a circle. Start unraveling your twine, slowly wrapping it around the bottle. Be sure to wrap tightly as to not create any gaps between wraps.
Step two: Don’t forget to use your glue! I glued under every third or fourth wrap trying to secure the twine to the wine bottle. (Yes, your fingers will get sticky!) A hot glue gun may
make it easier. Continue all the way to the very top of the wine bottle. It gets a little tricky near the top but just make sure to secure the wraps as you go which will make wrapping the curve easier.

Step three: Garnish with ribbon, bows, flowers, etc.
Step four: Stage around your home and enjoy your hard work!
Proof that there may or may not be many empty bottles of wine hanging around my little home.
See! It is a super easy project and makes for such an adorable addition to the dining room table or bookshelf!
Don’t you just love the burlap placemats? Recently purchased at Hobby Lobby and I am in love.
