If you frequent the wine shop and love indulging from time to time, you probably have recycled more than a few bottles over the years. While that’s one way to dispose of them, it’s not the only way to put them to good use! Here are some fun and creative craft suggestions to repurpose wine bottles.

Crafty Ways to Give New Life to Wine Bottles

1. Petite Terrarium

If you’re charmed by whimsical terrariums, you’ll be even more wowed when you create one of your own. You’ll need bottles of varying lengths from the wine shop, along with succulents, moss, and cute miniature decorations to dress up the interior. This project involves cutting glass, so have someone with experience assist you if you haven’t done it before.

There’s nothing better to hold a bouquet of flowers than a sleek vase in the shape of a wine bottle. Instead of running out in search of the perfect style, take advantage of an empty bottle from your last wine shop run. You’ll also need some acrylic craft paint and a brush to decorate it. You could paint the top and the base a single shade and create a dramatic design in the center, or dedicate a single hue to the entire bottle.

2. Holiday Decor

If you want to add something fun to your next holiday spread, consider designing festive decor. The beauty of this sparkling centerpiece is that you can collect bottles of wine and spirits throughout the year so that you have several to use when the holiday season arrives. For maximum impact, use ones in a variety of colors. For example, green, gold, red, and amber all make wonderful additions to any area of the home. You’ll need a drill to produce a tiny hole on one side of the glass. Then feed the lights inside and plug it in for instant illumination!
