Step-by-step
Step 1
Labels on wine bottles can be removed simply and cleanly using the edding 8180 label removal marker. For the design, we’ve used the edding 750 gloss paint marker in white.
Step 2
Fully coat the labels with the label remover and leave the oil to work for a few minutes. You can then easily remove the label and any adhesive residue. Before you start to decorate, thoroughly clean the bottle once more.
Step 3
Before starting your design, activate the gloss paint marker as follows: shake the marker vigorously with the cap still on, remove the cap and pump the marker up and down a few times on a piece of absorbent paper until ink appears in the tip. Test on a piece of scrap paper and your marker is then ready to use. Start by drawing a chain of dots around the neck of the bottle.
Step 4
Continue with the macrame pattern in whatever way you like, perhaps by adding further edging and tendrils that look like knots, or vertical lines. After using the marker, make sure the cap is on properly and store horizontally.
Step 5
Let your imagination run wild and try out different patterns. Once the paint is dry, you can place the candles in the bottles.
