2. Chalkboard Painted Bottle
Make a cool gift filled with a favorite candy or another small item (it has to fit through an opening of a wine bottle!) – does your gift recipient’s love beans? Or maybe you’re own spice concoction? This bottle has a cute chalkboard paint label!
Check out the Chalkboard Painted Bottle Tutorial.
