"Grape" Decorated Wine Bottle

"There is no sincerer love than the love of food." -Stella Newman, Pear Shaped

Pear Shaped, by Stella Newman was a fun summer read.  It touches on love, finding oneself, and good food and wine! In sticking with the theme, I created a wine bottle craft to fit the book.


Materials:
  • Wine Bottle
  • Purple or Green Gems
  • Ivy Leafs
  • Raffia
  • E6000
Directions:
  1. Clean and remove label from wine bottle. Let dry.
  2. Glue gems onto the bottle to create a shape that looks like a bunch of grapes.  Over lap gems as needed.
  3. Glue three leafs at the top of the grape bunch.
  4. Glue the end of a piece of raffia at the top of the bottle neck. wrap down towards the bottom of the bottle neck and glue off.  
  5. Using a few pieces of raffia tie a bow.  Cut off excess and glue onto the wrapped bottle neck.
This craft is simple and sure to please!
