Today I am introducing a really fun class. We are decorating Holiday Wine Bottle Decor and making a fun gift idea. My friend Maureen (you know her…the one with the Beach Inspired Sofa Table?) really wanted me to teach a class for this Holiday Wine Bottle Decor. She had seen these on Pinterest and so had I. I adored them and was thrilled when she thought she could get a lot of people to the class.
Holiday Wine Bottle Decor
These guys are really fun. We had a great time in our class!
The bottles were pre-painted so the class consisted of decorating the Santa and Snowman bottles then creating the Bailey’s gift idea.
I have included some affiliate links in this post. If you click on a link and make a purchase I will receive a small commission. This helps tremendously to keep the blog going and is at no extra cost to you. You can read my full disclosure here.
I just love the way they turned out. I used the red metallic spray paint for Santa and the Hammered White for the snowman. The hammered paint gives him a little bit of a texture to be more like snow.
Then we made this fun gift.
How cute is this? Some hot chocolate and some marshmallows along with the Bailey’s make a good combo. Don’t you agree?
These are the perfect gifts for mailmen/women, your hair stylist and more. The kids teachers probably need it the most but it may be inappropriate for them.
Or… you can always keep them. I know I won’t want to part with mine.
Keep checking back for more classes and great gifty/home decor ideas. Or, better yet, sign up to receive my emails. Then you won’t miss a post or class!
Thank so much. If you have friend that would be interested in classes please share!

Hi Michelle, I did it! I wasnt going to let this defeat me! I found top hats at my local craft store, to my surprise. But it looks mOre like cowboy hats even though it said tophats. So I went to where they have felt and saw eco-fi glitterfelt. Bought it and with my templEt made the 3 pieces. The round part I used a little felt glue and stitched It tOgether. Glued the top and voila, a top hat! I managed to knit the scarf. I haven't knitted in over 35 years but with persistence it doesnt look bad! Now to finish it off! Love love your bottles. You inspired me. Thank you. Lucia

Thank you so much for responding so quickly. So you used black stock paper. Sounds good to me. I have whiTe stock paper then I tried gluing black felt to it...not good! I will buy black stock paPer and start over again. I made a templet of the hat. Looks good but when I tried wrapping the black felt around it, it didnt look good. So if you do find the hat I would deFinitely apprEciate if you could get back to me. Again, thank you.

I know I did not use felt at all. I think I used a strip of black card stock wrapped and glued to size, then for the brim I must have cut a circle with a center circle cut out and glued the two together. It is not the best technique. It is hard to glue the edge of the the card stock to the brim. Maybe try the black craft foam sheets. It is a little thicker than the card stock and will be easier to glue together.
