I’m no crafter. But I had a really fun time making these chalkboard bottles. This project inspired me to make candy corn painted bottles for Halloween, too!

How to Make Chalkboard Bottles

You can use old wine bottles or any other random other cute bottles.

Remove the labels, wash, and dry the bottles. Then, paint them with a spray primer in gray.

After spraying them with the primer, use any color you like to cover the bottles. I painted some bottles with white spray paint, some with blue, and some with red spray paint. The cool bottle that was already blue, I left alone.
 
I also left two bottles in the gray primer because I thought it was pretty rad.

Tape off areas to paint with chalkboard paint. I free-hand painted the bottles with round places on front with the chalkboard paint.

Decorate your bottles

 
I tied the raffia around the neck of the bottles.
I plan to use this tailgating with flowers and dried grass in them and write a cheer or sports-related chant on the chalkboard areas.

Also, I’ll group them together and use them as table centerpieces for dinner parties. You can add a whimsical saying or trivia question.

  2. You've been featured! I totally stole the chalkboard paint my step-mom had last week. I think I won't be giving back for a little while now. Thanks so much for sharing at Wednesday Whatsits!
