Glittered Wine Bottles

When gathering supplies for my best friend's bridal shower we found ourselves at a loss while trying to find something to use as centerpieces for the tables. Every idea we had ended up being too complicated or way over budget. Finally we thought of using wine bottles, but better yet, we decided to add glitter! As we began glittering the bottles we liked our idea more and more.
After making these and seeing them in use at the bridal shower I think these would make excellent decorations for any event or even nice ways to use all those empty wine bottles around your home!


What you'll need:
Wine bottles
Spray adhesive 
Large glitter the color of your choosing (20 bottles of various sizes used almost two large bottles)
Something to cover the surface you're working on

Start by wiping the bottles clean and making sure they're all rinsed out and dry on the inside. We didn't remove the labels because we were keeping the work as minimal as possible, you couldn't see them through all the glitter anyway. If you find the labels show through you can remove them first. 
We glittered the bottles in three sequences, spray, glitter, rotate. Three times. When you're spraying and glittering be sure to glitter on a different spot than that you spray so the loose glitter doesn't get sticky and can be reused. Spray one side with the spray adhesive and pour the glitter onto the spot you sprayed. Continue this process until the entire bottle is covered. After the bottle is done set it aside to dry. Scoop up the loose glitter to be reused and continue this process until you're finished with all your bottles. 
You can dress up the bottles by adding ribbon or twine to the base and/or neck. You could also stick a flower or two into each bottle for a nice touch.
