Creating an ombre effect on a bottle can be done by using spray paint. Clean the bottle thoroughly and let it dry completely. To avoid any staining mishaps, wear gloves and use old newspapers while painting the bottle in an open location. Once the bottle is clean and dry, tape off the bottom of the bottle with masking tape to protect it from paint.

Next, choose the colours you want to use for the ombre effect, starting with the lightest colour. Spray the top of the bottle with the lightest colour you want to use. Then, move on to the next section of the bottle and spray it with a slightly darker colour. Make sure to overlap the previous colour slightly to achieve a smooth transition between the colours. Continue this process until you reach the bottom of the bottle. Once the bottle is dry, remove the masking tape. And you’ll have a beautiful, gradient ombre effect wine bottle that can be used as a vase or a decorative piece.
