** Bird Feeder: This adorable bird feeder starts with a hole drilled in a wine bottle. This can be challenging at first, but most experienced DIYers should be able to do it without too much trouble. Attach a hanging wire to the top of the bottle and a tray for seeds at the bottom.

** 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.
