Glass Bottle Centerpiece Materials

Gather these supplies to create your rustic fall centerpiece:

Materials Needed:

• 4-6 clear glass bottles (various heights)
• Wooden box or crate for base
• White taper candles
• Natural jute twine or rope
• White lace ribbon or doilies
• Fresh or artificial wildflowers (yellow and white)
• Rose hips or red berries
• Scissors

How to Make Your Glass Bottle Candle Centerpiece

This craft is perfect for adults and creates a beautiful rustic centerpiece for your autumn celebrations.

Step 1: Step 1: Measure and Cut Lace for Each Bottle

• Take one bottle out of the wooden tray to use as a measuring guide
• Wrap lace around the bottle to determine the length needed
• Cut one piece of lace for each bottle you plan to decorate

Step 2: Wrap Bottle with Lace and Secure

• Take one bottle and wrap it with the pre-cut piece of lace
• Position the lace where you want it on the bottle (I recommend you ensure the lace is visible above the box you are popping your glass bottles in).

• Wrap a piece of jute twine twice around the lace and bottle to secure

• Tie off the twine in a decorative bow to hold everything in place

Step 3: Add Wildflowers and Berries

• Gather your small collection of wildflowers and red berries
• Tuck flower stems and berry clusters into the twine wrapping (we want the flowers to be visible once the bottles are back in the box)

Step 4: Return Bottle to Tray

• Carefully place the decorated bottle back into the wooden tray
• Make any adjustments to make sure the lace and flowers are visible above the edge of the box.

Step 5: Add Candles and Secure

• Insert a long white taper candle into each bottle opening
• Use hot glue at the bottom of each candle to secure it in place

• Ensure all candles are straight and stable before lighting
