    How to remove labels from wine bottles easily and then paint and decorate for awesome home decor ideas! #MyRepurposedLife #repurposed #winebottles #homedecor #easy #projects via @repurposedlife

    Y’all know I love and use my Homeright Finish max for 99% of all furniture projects. Heck I’ve even used it for walls, my front door, and even my birdbath. So, if you have a Finish Max, be sure to know that it’s not JUST for furniture redo’s, it's perfect for painted glass bottles and knick knacks.

    You may remember my repurposed drawer bookshelf. I’ve been working really hard to stage my projects a little better. I knew that I wanted to stage that project with many white objects, most of them small trinkets. I hunted up a bunch of items from all my hiding places and took them outside to make them all match.

    Use a paint sprayer for best coverage on small treasures

    The best option of paint is  my DIY chalky paint. Of course this would allow me to get good adhesion on all of my small objects.

    It really was so quick and easy to paint all of these little pieces with my Finish Max.

    White decor on  blue shelves

    Don't you agree that they are oh so cute?

    Here’s another great project I did with my Finish Max . . .

    These are my supplies to complete my painted glass bottles project. Wine bottles (and a couple of random jars) plus some Heirloom Traditions French Vanilla chalk type paint.

    Glass Bottle Painting using a Paint Sprayer

    You can see I used  rods of different sorts, some of them former crib parts to hold the bottles and jars while I painted them with my Finish Max.

    Here is the “after” of the bottles. The Finish Max and the Heirloom Traditions paint make a good pair. I love how smooth they turned out. Painting them upside down really gave good coverage all over. If I had set them on a tarp, I would have painted the bottoms by hand.

    I have to apologize, I don’t have pictures of the next steps. I couldn’t find them, and I honestly don’t know for sure if I took any.

    Here is one of the jars from the picture above.

    Here is another jar-you may have noticed this one sitting on the repurposed sewing machine vanity, I had it holding some makeup brushes.

    my-repurposed-life-remove-labels-repurposed-wine-bottles


    Good news! I have more bottles to paint! I’ve been collecting them from friends, I am not a wine drinker.



    Quick tip: To remove labels, place wine bottle into pre-heated 350° oven for 10 minutes. Use a spatula to lift up one corner of the label, and it will easily peel off taking most of the adhesive with it. You may have just a smidgeon to wash off.

      OH thank you soooo much for the tip on how to get the wine bottle label's off. I'm assuming this would work for any label-yes? I have a project for wine bottles that turns them into torches. There is copper piping and copper clamps involved. a wick and lamp oil. They get mounted to the back side of a house facing a deck or on grape arbor poles where a table and chairs are set up for an alfresco dinner. They throw a lot of lite,last along time, and if bugs are a problem, just fill the bottles with citronella liquid. Green wine bottles are my favorite to use. I think they look the nicest with the copper, especially after a patina starts.

      I love these bottles and can see how much easier it is using the Finish max. I have been painting bowling balls as bugs by hand and it takes so many coats of paint to color the black balls. I spray them with primer before painting. Last winter I had to use my downstairs shower as a paint booth to do the primer. I hung plastic but some still leaked through. Probably won't do that again!

      I recently found your blog and have enjoyed visiting the site most every day. My daughter is going away to college and is setting up an apartment. We have found great deals on furniture which I have updated with paint. A spray painter would be awesome to have and very helpful. I would take the old croquet set I have and re-purpose the balls into candle holders and place them in a wooden trough-like piece with holes cut as a centerpiece for her dining table. I think I would paint them different colors to match the different size/color chairs she has for dining table. For her desk I would make another trough like piece and use old sink stoppers (painted of course) to use for holding paper clips, pushpins, etc. I came across some old medicine cabinets that I'm thinking of getting to paint the silver and use in a grouping in a hallway in my downstairs. Endless possibilities.Thanks!

      I just recently found your web site. I love it so much. I am addicted to it. I have already learned so much from here. I would use the sprayer for everything from cans for punched lanterns , to bottles for tike torches , to lamps and lighting fixtures , to furnature . I am so tired of using spray paint. And the tent would be great. Right now I am ruining my back porch with flying paint. Thank you for taking your time to help other people.

        I used Heirloom Traditions Chalk Type paint, so there was no need to prime the bottles. Yes, I think the Finish Max would be great to paint the tins.

Some small knick knack and wall decor in my new kitchen and dining room colors. I have never heard of this brand and was wondering where I could find a dealer to see one up close. But, then when I WIN this one I guess I won't need to find a dealer.

      I've always painfully brushed on chalk paint, but wondered if there could be an easier way. I've got 2 large brass chandeliers that have been sitting in the garage collecting more dust because I have been dreading the tedious work of painting them with brushes. So I really hope to win one of these Finish Max Spray Guns and use it for those, and all my painting projects for that matter. I would even use it to paint my old wooden patio furniture!

      Wow...these are awesome! I think I would take all of my "old" knick knacks and paint them. I do have a pair of owls that was given to me by my husbands grandmother and I know that they are very old but, do not go with anything. ...That would probably be my first project.....I love grandma dearly!

      Thank you for sharing and giving us this opportunity!

      Those bottles turned out so pretty Gail, and of course I love the one with the rose graphic. I still haven't done a project with it, but I'm glad to see you have! I'd love to have a Finish Max paint sprayer - what a time-saver it would be.

      I have an old brass chandelier/light that I would paint with this lovely tool! Then I would hang the light in my tent for my craft shows. I make and sell jewelry made from vintage silverware. How gorgeous would this chandelier turn out after being painted with the spray gun?!!!

      Well, we're finally getting to mow... the grass and the ground has dried enough over the past few days! Yay!
      You can imagine with the LITTLES running around the yard, and the tall grass... we had plenty to scavenge for before starting the mower up today.
      I was just noticing when I was out in the yard... all my little plaster yard art! Turtles, Frogs, Squirrels... chunky rocks with flower impressions and a few fairies. They all need a consistent coat of paint.
      I bet the HomeRight sprayer would work wonders on the lawn creatures... and yard art! - Patricia

      I have so many little things all in hideous colors from almost 50 years of marriage. Gold,blue olive green. What a great idea to unify with one color. I love my cabinets with cubbies and buy them at sales but non e are ever in my color. This could solve that

      Please do tell how you did the wine bottle. I love it and will have to make one for my home.

      I am also going to need to paint trim. We need to replace some floor trim and I want to put up ceiling trim in my living room and bedroom.

      Oh yeah, then there is that fence I need to stain. So I have projects big and small.

      I bought the Homeright paint sprayer over a year ago and it still sits in the box. I have never figured a good way to protect my garage or driveway from the overspray and that spray tent looks like just the ticket!! I have so many projects waiting to be painted and need to get on the ball! First one off the bat would be an old china cabinet that I want to use to hold thread in my studio. I started it by hand and to get the inside done nicely, I really need to spray it.

      Oh my goodness this would cut my endless list of projects in half! It is taking me forever to refinish furniture pieces and up cycle old frames, vases, lamp bases, I can't even list it all! After 41 years of marriage, we've collected some memorable pieces, big and small, that we want to update and give new life. The memories will always be there but everything will blend together so much better. Oh I forgot to mention that we have built on a room for my precious and aging parents to live with us. So they are bringing with them even more projects for us to work on together. Life is good as long as we have people we love and projects to keep us busy! Good luck everyone!

      Pinned a bottle, so darn cute. I found a free box a couple summers ago of interesting bottles and have not done anything with them. I've got a sprayer, maybe a shelter would get me moving? For sure I'm going to try baking my bottles to remove the labels, that could be a game changer.
