Wine Bottles Day #2!

Let’s put empty wine bottles to good use! You may enjoy collecting them or just recycling, but here you will find some ideas for creative uses for your bottles.

Create mosaics for décor

With broken glass from colorful wine bottles, you can design patio tiles by placing the glass arbitrarily in wet cement, or you can create any artwork your imagination desires! You may want to place the glass in a rock tumbler for a while to smooth out sharp edges, before your start working with them.

Replace a pitcher

Wine bottles are often reused in Europe, even in restaurants, to serve water or carbonated water. The bottles are attractive and take up less space than a pitcher.

Rolling tool for your kitchen

Take a clean wine bottle, remove the label, fill the bottle with water, cork it and store it in the refrigerator. The weight and coolness of the bottle work well for rolling out pastry dough.

Water plants while you are away

If the plant and pot are large enough to accommodate a wine bottle, simply fill it with water and insert the neck into the soil.

Decorative light refraction

Fill clean empty wine bottles with sand, beach glass, stones, or other objects and place in a sunny window. It is like a homemade light-refracting cut glass crystal.

Create a bottle or "spirit" tree

Bottle trees can be a beautiful addition to a yard or garden area. Legend has it that the bottle trees captured evil spirits in the night and were burned off by the day’s sun. Place empty and clean wine bottles on the branches by inserting the branch into the bottle neck. The tree is best placed in a sunny area where the bottles can refract light.
