***Paint them!
We often offer special classes where we paint on blank, empty wine bottles, then fill them with lights! These are so lovely to create and place around the house for a handmade touch of ambience.
We also offer painted wine glasses, too! Come in and paint TWO special, usable works of art on an actual wine glass!
