3. Use glass paints to paint the painted areas of onto the bottle. Use a small brush and a steady hand. If you make a mistake or don't like the result, you can use a Q-tip dipped in a small amount of rubbing alcohol to remove the paint.
4. Allow the paint to dry for 24 hours.
5. Following the paint manufacturer's directions, bake the paint onto the surface of your bottle. Carefully remove it from the oven and allow it to cool to room temperature.
6. Apply double sided tape to the areas of your design that are to be beaded.
7. Place your beads in a shallow pan or cookie sheet that is large enough to fit your bottle into.
8. Remove the top tape liners of the double faced tape from the first beaded section on the bottle and roll the bottle in the beads.
9. Repeat steps 7 and 8 until all of the beads have been applied to the bottle.
10. Paint a light coat of food safe dimensional glaze over the decorated bottle and allow it to dry for at least 24 hours.
11. Fill the bottle with oil and place a wine bottle spout on it to use it as you would any oil bottle.
