Instructions
- Prep the wine bottle by removing the front label by running under warm water. Wipe down the bottle and wine glasses with rubbing alcohol.
- Print out the downloadable artwork label. Trim the label leaving a slight white edge.
- Place the label face down on a piece of wax paper. Coat with Mod Podge. Carefully lift up label and place on wine bottle front. Smooth in place with fingers.
- Clean off any excess Mod Podge with wet paper towel. Let dry.
- To paint a cluster of green grapes, pour two small puddles of Forest Moss on a palette. In one puddle add a tiny amount of Wicker White to create a lighter green. Using a large dauber, pounce in the Forest Green and offload on a paper towel to start with a light coat of paint. Press the dauber on the wine bottle making circles that overlap to create a cluster of grapes. After a light coat of overlapping grapes, add a more solid Forest Moss layer of grapes in random areas on top of the light layer.
- Finally add the light green to only one side of the dauber and offload onto a paper towel. Press the dauber over the grapes to create highlights.
- To paint a cluster of purple grapes, pour a small amount of Red Violet and Berry Wine on a palette. Using a large dauber, pounce in Red Violet and offload on a paper towel to start with a light coat of paint. Press the dauber on the wine bottle making circles that overlap to create a cluster of grapes. After a light coat of overlapping grapes, add a more solid Red Violet layer of grapes in random areas on top of the light layer. Add a layer of Berry Wine grapes.
- Finally add a layer of lighter Red Violet (mixed with a small amount of White) to create highlights.
- With a liner brush paint simple stems and leaf in Thicket. Let dry.
- Paint stemless glasses using same grape cluster dauber technique. Bake to cure referring to back of paint bottle for directions.
