When the Last Sip of Wine is Gone….

Have some time on your hands and want to learn some new skills? Then get your creative juices going with these fine wine bottle up-cycle ideas and if you try one, go ahead and boast about it in our comments section!
1. Trendy Bottle and Jar Decor
For starters how about this adorable (and easy to make!) decorative vase and tea light combination for the mantle. Instead of the word “Love”, use your family’s last name!
Find out how to do it! Trendy Bottle and Jar decor
2. Chalkboard Painted Bottle
Make a cool gift filled with a favorite candy or another small item (it has to fit through an opening of a wine bottle!) – does your gift recipient’s love beans? Or maybe you’re own spice concoction? This bottle has a cute chalkboard paint label!
Check out the Chalkboard Painted Bottle Tutorial.
3. Wine Bottle Citronella Candles
We love this one because of how simple it is to make and so useful for keeping pesky mosquitoes away! A bottle of wine was never drunk for a better reason.
