She loved it. This is how I will start today's blog about decorating a used wine bottle for repurposing as a gift.
When I handed the hand-painted, bow-adorned, filled-with-Christmas-lights wine bottle over to my best friend, I explained, "You see, it's filled with Christmas lights," then I plugged it into the socket over her kitchen counter.
"Ohhhh, I love it," she cried.
"And I used enamel glass paint to paint the leaves and dragonflies," I continued.
"Hon, look," she beckoned to her husband. "See what Deb made for me? It lights! This is sooooo cool. You should sell them," she told me.
"Not in Lawrence, I can't. No market but I'd like to try here in Bonner (Springs, KS)," I said.
The conclusion is the hand painted wine bottle I turned into a lit decoration was a marvelous hit which surprised me, somewhat. I felt a bit humble giving her something I had made but on the other hand I was proud of the nice looking piece. And now that I know there's a chance such a project could be desirable, I will make more and add them to my inventory of homemade gifts to give and sell.
