Directions
Clean the empty wine bottle thoroughly, removing any labels and adhesive residue.

Variations & Tips
To customize your frosted glass wine bottle, consider experimenting with different colors of frosted glass spray paint to match your home decor. You can also use stencils to create patterns or designs on the bottle before applying the spray paint for a more intricate look. For a more rustic feel, wrap twine or jute around the neck of the bottle. If you prefer a glossy finish, apply a clear sealant over the frosted paint once it has dried. Additionally, try using bottles of different shapes and sizes to create a dynamic and varied display.
