Have you ever wanted to make something using an old wine bottle or glass jar but could not get the label off? I am going to share with you the easiest way to remove a label from a bottle or glass jar. It is really quick and simple to do with amazing results every time. I love using this method to remove labels as it allows me to replace the labels with lovely personalised labels. whilst still keeping the important information label in tact.
You will need the following supplies:

Step 1
Take a couple of sheets of kitchen roll and fold it up. Make it just big enough to cover the label on your bottle. Take the nail polish remover and gently soak the kitchen roll.
Step 2
Take the paper towel and place it over the bottle label. Keep pressing the paper towel down so that the nail polish remover soaks into the label.
Keep adding more nail polish remover if the paper towel becomes dry. This process could take up to twenty minutes.
Step 3
Start trying to peel up the corners to see if the label will lift. If the label does start to lift thats great try and remove all the label.
If the label doesn't all peel off and only a layer of paper comes off don't worry just repeat the process again. Press the paper towel soaked in nail polish remover onto the bottle. This will soak into the label and remove it.
Step 4
Once the label is removed put some of the nail polish remover onto the cotton wool pad and rub where the label was. This will remove any residue or glue that has been left by the label. If you're going to replace it with a personalised label the bottle needs to be nice and clean. We don't want anything to stop the new label from sticking to the bottle.
Step 5
Finally, take a fresh piece of kitchen roll and wipe over the front of the bottle so we have a nice clean surface. Now you are ready to apply our own personalised label to give as a gift.
By removing the label using nail polish remover we have managed to keep the label at the back of the bottle. This shows all the information about the wine which is helpful if you are giving the wine as a gift.
