Glass containers Vintage inspired
You haven’t! Well check out these vintage wine bottles.
I was so inspired with the whole vignette that plans for our Thanksgiving buffet table may look similar, just at a bargain basement price.
Above is the only item I’ve bought so far. A square pitcher from our grocery store on sale at half price for $15.
I used the silhouette cameo to cut out the words water, wine, and give thanks plus a few scrolls.
Forgive me now. Because I love decorating, moving things around, using things in different ways and at different times of the year…I wanted this to be a temporary design.
So I used plain o’ craft paint. It will simply wash off after turkey day.
If I wanted the designs to stick around I could use glass paint or permanent “paint” markers. Above you can see a bit of the gold scroll added above “water.” In the finished photo you can see I added a dark brown to the scroll.
The wine carafe already has our logo done about 3 years ago with glass paint. I had a wooden ball from a thrift shop lamp to add to the top.
Now here’s the other side…you can see the logo through the glass.
This big guy will get a base of some rustic sort by Thanksgiving. I didn’t worry about perfection {usually perfection is waaaaayyy down on my list of concerns:)}
Simply using two sizes of paint brushes and every finger I have to hold down the stencil on the round glass, I painted. The glass, the counter, and Bella.
Some of the wonkiness of the painting was also due to Bella jumping up every time I kneeled down to paint.
That’s my story and I’m sticking to it.
The square container will get water, the wine carafe, wine…but any ideas for the big guy?
I thought about tossing in dinner rolls but would that be weird?
