Wedding Centre Pieces

by Cindy C Blakis

STEP BY STEP INSTRUCTIONS:

1. We were having a wine themed wedding.
2.  Besides drinking a lot of wine, we were able to procure the various sized bottles from a restaurant a friend works in.
3. I soaked the bottles in hot water to aid with the peeling of the labels and used Goo Gone to clean off the remaining sticky stuff.
4. We scored and separated them all.  (We did have a few casualties.)
5. My fiancé was afraid of me injuring myself during this part so I was benched, as he sanded and drilled a hole in the bottles.  (The holes are needed for air to circulate in and not blow out the candle or to put the electrical wiring through.)  I highly recommend the Kinkajou Finishing Kit for a project like this because it takes a lot of sanding with the various grits of sand paper to get the edges nice and smooth again. With so many bottles, we had to buy extra sandpaper.

MATERIALS REQUIRED:

1.  70 Various Sized Green Wine Bottles
2. A Kinkajou Bottle Cutter and Included Accessories
3. Goo Gone
4. Sand Paper (Finishing Kit)
5. Power Drill w/Glass Bit
6. Candles
7. Electric Fairy Lights
8. Mirrors
