Welcome back to the Festive Christmas Ideas blog hop! On Mondays and Wednesdays through November 19, my blogging friends and I will be sharing ideas for gifts, decorating, recipes and holiday games to help make Christmas extra festive this year! Today we are sharing DIY Christmas Gift ideas! I am sharing a DIY Lighted Snowflake Wine Bottle craft that is simple to make, beautiful and makes a great gift!
DIY Lighted Snowflake Wine Bottle (Homemade Christmas Gift Idea)
I have always loved beautiful glass. I seek out things like paperweights and glass ornaments, for instance. I love the look of pretty cobalt blue glass. I recently discovered Krylon Sea Glass Spray Paint in Cornflower
Lighted Wine Bottle Supplies
DIY lighted wine bottles are a great craft and homemade Christmas gift idea. These lighted wine bottles are thrifty, beautiful and can be customized to fit the person you are gifting! The lighted snowflake wine bottle I made can be given to almost anyone. I am also planning to make a bottle along the theme of the Christmas movie, Elf, which I love! The Halloween lighted wine bottle I made is based on the movie, Corpse Bride, which I also love!
DIY Lighted Wine Bottle Supplies (Homemade Christmas Gift Idea)
Empty Clear Glass Wine Bottle
Krylon Sea Glass Spray Paint in Cornflower
White Snowflake Window Clings 
Mod Podge 
Stencil Brush
White Satin Fabric Ribbon 
Large Jingle Bell Ornament
Warm White Starry String Lights
Lighted Wine Bottle Supplies
The first step is to spray paint a clean and dry clear empty wine bottle with Krylon Sea Glass Spray Paint in Cornflower. (I spray painted mine in the backyard.) I spray painted two extra wine bottles – one to make a Coraline themed lighted wine bottle for my daughter, and another for the Elf movie lighted wine bottle I want to make for myself.
Let your wine bottle dry (I just left mine out in the sun in the backyard for 2-3 hours.)
Once your wine bottle is ready to work with, you can use the Mod Podge to glue the snowflake vinyl clings to the spray painted wine bottle. I simply used the stencil brush to brush on the Mod Podge and then placed the vinyl snowflake clings onto the bottle. Mod Podge dries clear, so I didn’t have to worry about it showing.
There wasn’t any real pattern to how I placed the vinyl clings. I just did whatever I thought looked best. My fingers got a little messy during this process. You might want to keep a wet rag or paper towel nearby to clean Mod Podge off your fingers as you work.
Once the bottle was decorated with the vinyl snowflake clings and the Mod Podge was dry, I hung my large jingle bell ornament from the neck of the wine bottle. I then used my white satin ribbon to tie a simple bow onto the neck of the wine bottle.
After that, all that was left to do was add a string of fairy lights! I carefully snaked a battery operated string of fairy lights into the bottle. I added two AA batteries to the lights’ battery compartment and switched on the lights.
I am happy with how this DIY Christmas gift craft turned out! I think it will be a nice addition to my family’s Christmas decor.

Thanks, Beverly! Maybe it will help me enjoy winter more! (I’m not a big fan of winter.)
Wow those are pretty!
Thanks, Tania!
Lauren, the snowflake bottle is cute but I love your Halloween bottle! I haven’t seen the Krylon cornflower paint. It’s just so pretty! Thanks for sharing.

Thanks, Debra! The Halloween bottle is my favorite one, too! I also made my daughter a bottle for the movie Coraline – that one is a favorite of mine, too!
Great post! If you do a search on ebay for “cork led light” or similar variation you can find additional light source that I think would be a perfect fit! I use the one with AA battery just because it’s easy to replace lol.
