Measure the length of the wooden milk bottle and cut 1/2″ strips of paper that long. I noticed it took me roughly 10 strips of paper to go around the entire bottle. Repeat this step for all three of the wooden bottles. I used a different color paper for each.
First, apply a generous coat of Mod Podge® on the wooden bottle. Then lay your first strip of paper down and apply 3-4 coats/brush strokes of Mod Podge® over the top. Each brush stroke will gradually make the paper conform to the shape of the bottle. Once you have one strip of paper secured down, move to the next strip of paper.
I found it easiest to do two or three strips of paper on one bottle and then while it was drying, I would work on another bottle. I kept the top of the bottles clean and had them rest upside down while drying.
Once the bottles were covered with the paper, allow to fully dry. Then using scissors or a utility knife, carefully cut away any excess paper on the bottom of the bottles.
Finally, I added just a few small painted details using acrylic paint to finish the project up! I painted just the top of each bottle in a coordinating color. And then, I painted the top of a utensil caddy basket, as the milk bottles fit perfectly in there as a carrying case.
