I had these bottles in my craft room just waiting to be used. I used two wine bottles and one vintage style glass bottle.

I use this technique all the time to create texture on items. It’s super easy. You will rip paper towel pieces up and mod podge them on your bottle. This creates a really cool effect when it dries.

They will take some time to dry. I let the 3 bottles dry over night. To make sure they were ready to paint.

Once the mod podge textured paper towel layer was dry I painted the bottles black. I used black acrylic paint.

It will take at least 2 layers of acrylic paint to cover the bottles completely.

Once the bottles were painted and dry. I wrapped twine a few times around the top of the bottle.

These cute skulls were plastic rings that I cut off the ring part and hot glued them on the end of the twine.
