4thofJuly is right around the corner, and we came up with a fun and festive way to use those extra wine glasses! These dyed rice candle centerpieces are uber cute, super easy and very expensive. Throw in some citronella candles and you can also keep away those pesky bugs! We had a fabulous evening creating these and afterwards, we hung out in the yard enjoying some wine of course!
Whatyouneed!
1. Wine glasses (or mason jars)
2. Inexpensive white rice (1 cup for each color)
3. Red & Blue food coloring or icing gels
4. Gallon storage bags.
Directions
Place a cup of rice in a gallon storage bag and drop in your red food coloring. Work the food coloring into the rice until it's all covered into a bright red.
Repeat the same step with the blue food coloring as you did with the red one.
Place the rice on a lined cookie sheet with the colors separated.
Place in a pre-heated 350 degree oven and bake for 5-7 minutes to set the dye.
Now fill your wine glass, putting the blue rice at the bottom, the plain white rice in the middle and the red rice at the top. Top with a tea light candle. If your centerpieces will be used for an outdoor gathering, remember you can use a citronella candle to keep the bugs away!
We hope everyone has a safe and memorable 4th of July. This craft can also be a fun experience for the little ones. They can fill mason jars, while you fill the wine glasses. Remember to drive responsibly this holiday season!

Party Favors - Barefoot Wine wrapped in tulle 2 of The Ladies on a Vine recently went to a baby shower of our good friend having twin girls. We knew it was going to be fabulous, her family always throws creative and festive parties. The theme was Candyland and everything looked so cute and perfect! As we walked in, we immediately noticed they incorporated wine into the theme. Serving liquor at baby showers has become quite popular. Baby showers are not your old fashioned living room parties with punch and sandwiches, they are carefully thought of productions that can become lavish! Don't feel pressured to serve liquor at the baby shower if you are the planner or the expected mother. Since the mother can't drink herself, it's really up to her how she feels about serving alcoholic beverages. Also it can add to the cost of the event. Party Gifts - Barefoot Moscato If you do decide to serve liquor, wine is the perfect choice. Wine can be inexpensive and it...
