Decorating With Old Wine Bottles

Posted on by

There are all kinds of different ways that you can use old wine bottles to make incredibly decorative objects. You can make both works of art and recycled objects from old bottles of wine.

One interesting way to make a poster is to soak all of your old wine bottles so the labels come off. You can then use the labels to decorate lampshades, tray or make an interesting poster.

It is easy to turn an old wine bottle into a lamp base. In fact the old chianti bottle in a basket look is just as popular as it as ever been. All you need to do is simply rig it with a light bulb and a cord and then find an old fashioned pale white or checkered shade to go with it.

You can also make lamps out of wine bulb by drilling a hole in the bottom of a bottle and then stuffing it with a string of mini lights. You can use a straightened out hanger to push the lights into the bottle and the plug cord comes out of the bottom of the bottle so you can plug it in. You can also glue beads and other decorative objects to the bottle to make a unique one of a kind light.

If the wine bottle has the right bottom bulbous shape you can actually make a light bulb out of the bottle with the bottle body serving as a colorful glass shade.

Wine bottles can also easily be turned into tumbler style drinking glasses. You can buy special saws and little hammers for cutting the bottles of bottles and then polishing them. These often make better vases than drinking glasses depending on how smooth you can get the lip of the cut glass to be. The cut off bottoms of wine bottles also make nice bottoms for hurricane candles. You can use a small bit of wire to hold the candle stable in the cut of bottle.

Wine bottles can also be used to make an edging for a garden. You dig a hole and bury the bottle upside down and have the bottom of the bottle showing like a round glass patio stone.

Wine bottles can also be recycled to be used as containers for flavored olive oils. You can make your own by adding dried basil, rosemary, sun dried tomatoes or sticks of oregano to a bottle. Tie this all up with a ribbon and it makes a great gift.
