Wine Bottles

Recently I purchased some wine bottles at a yard sale for .50 cents a piece.  This is just one I have done.

         

1.  I began by washing the bottle inside and out.
2.  I used old book pages and tore them into pieces.
3.  Then decoupaged the pieces onto the bottle.
4.  Used stamp ink to darken and to bring out the texture.
5.  I sealed with a couple coats of decoupage.
6.  Then I drew flowers with leaves and painted them with acrylic paint and sealed again.
7.  I wrapped the neck of the bottle with cotton string and tied it off with a bow.
