I like wine, but hate dishes, so I’m trying to trick myself…maybe if there is a wine bottle involved, dish washing will be more fun? We will see. This was such a fun little project, and super easy too!
I started by emptying a wine bottle…ummm…by drinking some wine. I then smeared dish liquid all over the label and soaked the bottle in warm water for 2 hours. This makes pealing the label off so easy.
Then I grabbed this cute stencil and my Frosted Glass Paint in white from DecoArt and got down to business.
These stencils stick right to glass and curve with the bottle as well. I took my dauber and dabbed the frosted glass paint onto the stencil. Let dry for a couple of hours, then remove the stencil. You can reuse the stencil, all you have to do is wipe it off.
I bought this stopper at Crate and Barrel, but have seen them everywhere…Walmart, Target, Meijer, etc… Fill your bottle with dish liquid and pop the stopper in the top!
And get to washin’ those dishes Mom 4 Real style!
I’m absolutely over the moon, because this project of mine was featured in the April 2013 Issue of HGTV Magazine!
How COOL is that???
Have a fabulous day!

Awesomely cute idea!! Love it!!
What a great idea this is. Looks really pretty sitting on the sink.
So fun! It looks great …btw I really like your menu board too. :)
Collio! The new soap dispenser is cute too ;) LOL!
So cool… but tell me…
Do you get down to business or BIDNESS, yo?
Love it! I need to make one, my hubby(who does the dishes) was just saying we needed a new dispenser as ours broke. Perfect timing. Better get to drinking, then! Haha! What stencil do you use that sticks to the glass? Thanks so much.
Very cool idea!
You just make me smile Jessica,you STENCIL queen! I really think you should take the title:) This is adorable.
Ahhh- I might just drink it by accident… it’s so pretty in that wine bottle! Yes Dishes should be fun now- I like your tricking method Jess! Great project girl!
So cute – I may have to try this!
Thanks for linking up to the CHQ Blog Hop – see you again next Tuesday!
At the rate I go thru wine, I could feasibly make 12 of these a day! Ok, 12 a week!
So much cuter than a plastic bottle.

Super cute. I hate dishes too….I need to try this and see if it helps!
I love all your ideas for wine bottles. Thanks!!
I love this! My sister in law uses a glass olive oil bottle the same way but this is so pretty with the frosted glass paint. And a great use for old wine bottles!! Very creative. :)

Cool idea, I just need the stencil.. Thanks :)
How do you keep the paint from wearing off if the bottle gets wet?
Congrats Jessica!!!…great project and HGTV thought so too!!!
I’m stealing this idea to use With a pretty vodka bottle from Russia. All I need is the stopper. The bottle is already painted up very nicely. Thanks!
very cool ideas, thanx
What section would I look in at Walmart to find the bottle stopper top, also could I use an olive oil bottle instead?
In the kitchen gadget section, and you could absolutely use an olive oil bottle instead! Good luck! ~Jess
How did you find a soap dispenser pump long enough to reach to (almost?) the bottom of a standard wine bottle?
Thanks for your response :)
Hi, Laura! With the dish soap dispenser, there is no pump, just a top. When turned over, the dish soap comes out easily.
