Sea glass & shell bottles made with green mini wine bottles.
I painted the bottles and scallop shell with gold metallic paint. Same paint I used for my shell candle holders, featured on Decorating with Candles.
I cut slots into wine bottle corks to serve as stands.
Then adhered the shell and seaglass with hot glue. This is the backside of the shell.
After this, I wrapped (and glued) rope around the bottle necks.
Since I only had white rope, I spray painted it black which resulted in a washed out charcoal color, which I like.
My two sea glass and shell bottles are now part of the "pretty bottle" line up on the kitchen counter (seen on Wine Decor and Wine Themed Gift Ideas). I love the chunky seaglass piece, a lucky find from last year!

Oh, to be you someday! As always, great idea.
Great projects to work on with friends and young kids as a way to condense a collection and make it artful.
I just found a big chunk of green sea glass like that big bottle bottom. Maybe I'll give it a try. Yours are awesome.
Great idea to use up those colored glass wine bottles. Love the seahorses!
