There was a huge shelf of these on sale at Hobby Lobby recently, $2
Some of them were imprinted with the words Wine Cooler. Hmmm…..
I remembered a wine cooler trend a long time ago, you were supposed to soak the terra cotta cooler in cold water and then you’d place your bottle inside to stay cool
I decided to try out chevron Frog Tape
It was a little tricky to apply around this round vessel with slightly bumpy texture so I expected some bleeding
Not too bad, nothing that a row of dots can’t disguise
I often design as I go
At this point I decided to add a checked rim and then see how it looked, before I did anything else
More dots on the other side of the stripes
All done!
I made it to match my Ladies Retreat, my little escape spot~
Sometimes HH joins me for a cocktail and we talk or watch the news
When the rest of the house is in chaos a little noisy
It’s handy to have a wine cooler 🙂
Note: I have not tried soaking this in cold water, so I can’t vouch for that, but it does keep the bottle cool for a white. To use this as a vase I will put a small glass inside so the water won’t sweat through~
Psst…in case your wondering why all the blue today, we are celebrating the birth of bouncing baby boy yesterday, 8 lbs 5 oz, CC’s little brother!
