Picture of Preparing the Bottle (Or: The Perfect Excuse to Open a Bottle of Wine)

 DIY Wine Bottle Concrete Watercolor Vase

First, grab your wine bottle. Step two is optional but highly recommended: drink the wine. Once that’s taken care of (responsibly, of course), soak the bottle in warm, soapy water to get rid of the label. Scrub like your reputation depends on it. Next, wrap the bottle tightly in plastic and secure it with tape. If you don’t have plastic, you can use thick cardboard, but that’s like choosing to play a game on hard mode. Cardboard can get soggy, which means you’ll spend your afternoon muttering “Why did I do this?” while trying to fix a lumpy cement mess. To make sure we actually have space for flowers later, stick a paper towel or foil tube onto the neck of the bottle.
