Hello Tatertots and Jello readers! My name is Aniko and I blog over at Place of My Taste.
I am so thrilled to be here again to share something pretty with you all today. Mother’s day is only 2 days away and it’s a BIG day as we celebrate the most important woman in our lives.
If you have not found the perfect gift for MOM yet, I will show you how you can make these pretty amazing wine bottle vases in no time for your MAMA.
Are you ready to see how I created this beautiful gift?
First you need to dig out 2 empty wine bottles from your recycling can ( or any other long neck bottles would be perfect )
Other things you will also need are:
– 2 different color spray paint
– rubber bands
– colorful ribbon to embellish
– fresh flowers
I chose white and ocean blue spray paints for my project. I really loved these colors together.
1. I spray painted both bottles, one with white, one with blue spray paint. I let it dry completely.
2. Once the paint was dry, I pulled on a handful of rubber bands for each bottles. The painted bottles looked great already but I wanted to create some sort of design on them to make them more unique. As you see on the picture below, there was no particular order that I followed with the rubber bands. They were randomly placed on the bottles. I sprayed the bottles again, but this time I chose the opposite color for each bottles.
3. I let the paint dry completely and once everything was super duper dry I slowly started pulling the rubber bands off of the bottles.
Easy enough, right?
I really loved how these bottles turned out.
For embellishment, I used pretty strawberry pink ribbons on the bottles.
I put fresh TULIPS (check out more gorgeous shot of these tulips HERE ) into the vases.
I created a super cute MOTHER’S DAY PRINTABLE CARD to go with these vases to get the look I wanted.

I really believe that homemade gifts are worth a thousand times more than the most expensive gifts!
They are made with LOVE and are given from the bottom of our hearts.
I hope I inspired you to dig out some wine bottles from the garage!
Thank you so much for reading
AND
a huge hug for Jen to share her space with me today!
Have a fabulous Spring to Everyone and Happy Mother’s day to All the Awesome Moms out there!
Come and follow along! I would love to have you on board at Place Of My Taste.

Made these today… Totally bummed. Let the coats dry and waited about 8-10 hours once they were done before taking the rubber bands off. The spray paint peeled underneath the rubber bands 🙁 they don’t look good. ;( any suggestions?
Aniko, these are so pretty! I confess that I always get teary-eyed around Mother’s Day..I lost my mom almost 10 years ago so I’m the momma now. I would love to make these for her, but maybe I’ll make them for me and think of her whenever I fill them with pretty flowers (which she loved). Thanks for the great thrifty idea!!
This is so pretty Aniko – I love it!!
I like this project! can you please provide us with the brand/names or type of spray paint you used?
Jessica, I used what I had at home already. For white I used Rastoleum Flat White and for the blue I used Krylon Ocean Breeze Gloss paint. ( I loved the glossy look ) Hope it helps! Have a great weekend!
I Love your wine bottles DYI project. What a wonderful gift to give a mom or yourself. I absolutely love your printable. I wish that I had a Mom to give it to. Thank you for sharing all of your lovely ideas.
