A couple of years ago I repurposed an empty wine bottle to use as a vase for some spring branches. When I got it out to use this spring, I decided to give it a little update. Now, I’m using it as an easy Easter Egg Floral Branches decor piece. Don’t toss your next empty bottle! With a little paint and some ribbon, it can be a pretty spring time vase.
I know I’m not the only one who buys wine because of the shape of the bottle. I love finding bottles that have shapes that I know can be repurposed. This wine was a Francis Ford Coppela Sofia Riesling. After washing the bottle and removing the label (I use nail polish remover) it was ready for painting.
I used Krylon Cover Maxx Paint and Primer in Ballet Slipper.
Once the paint dried, I tied two pieces of sheer pink ribbon around the neck into bows.
I added the branches and spread them apart. I had some Stretch Magic Bead Cord in my craft stash that I used for the eggs. I ran it through the small holes at the top of the egg and tied it off into a knot. I trimmed the excess cord and looped the egg over a branch.
I added a small piece of pink ribbon, tied into a bow, at the top of each egg.
This is such an easy repurposed project and I think it’s a fun piece of Easter decor.
I love the pink and white florals. I bought them a couple of years ago at Jo-Anns Fabric and Craft. Of course, I used a coupon to keep the cost low.
Before you toss that empty wine bottle, think about how easy it would be to turn it into a vase. This project was done in very little time, cost very little and adds some spring time color to my decor.

That is a nice shaped bottle and so perfect for this project. I’ll have to look a little harder next time I buy a bottle of wine! The pink color is gorgeous with the white flowers!

Pretty bottles are a draw for me also. Depending on the price I may buy one and toss out the product. The shade of pink you chose is very soft and just right for this project. Thank you for sharing with us this week at Celebrate Your Story, and I hope you’re having a great weekend.

This is beautiful! I love how something so simple can be transformed into something so elegant. I love the pale pink. In fact, I didn’t notice the eggs at first glance, they are so subtle, and when I did I had to smile. They add just the right amount of whimsy. Pinned!
