Drink, Then Decorate!
While recycling them is always a great (and responsible) thing to do, sometimes it’s fun to reuse old things in a new way!
We’ve found some great ideas for up-cycling wine bottle and corks that are easy for anyone to do and they cost next to nothing as they’re made from empty wine bottles! Make them for you to use, to give out as gifts to loved ones, or just as a rainy day project for you and the family to make.
Enjoy!

*** WAYS TO REUSE WINE BOTTLES ***
- Tiki Torches
These DIY tiki torches are easy to make. You do need the tiki wick, metal fittings, and oil for the torch. You will also need aquarium gravel to stabilize the bottom of the bottle. Fill the bottle with oil when you are ready. Assemble the tiki torch wick with the metal fittings and place it in the bottle with the gravel.
