A patinated Bottle Holder decorated with a stamped Design


A wooden bottle holder, patinated with craft paint, diluted with water, allowing the grain of the wood to show through the surface. A text and a graphical design are stamped on with undiluted paint in different colours from the same series.


1. Mix craft paint with water in the ratio 1:1 (half and half). Apply the diluted paint onto the bottle holder with a brush and leave to dry.


2. Dab a foam stencil brush in undiluted craft paint. Apply the paint onto the  foam stamp using the foam stencil brush. Now stamp a text and a graphic design according to your own taste – and in different colours. For example, the word “lemonade”.


TIPP: The bottle holder may be used for three milk bottles, each meassuring 550ml.
