- Stop tall boots from toppling
Use your wine bottles as boot-fillers. They will help maintain the shape of the boot, protecting them from damage and wear.
- Use it as a stylish book-end
Have a lovely library of books stacked on a shelf somewhere in your apartment? Use an old wine bottle to prop them up with style!
- Display personal messages with chalkboard painted bottles
Paint those three wine bottles under your kitchen sink black. Yes, chalkboard black. You could give them away as personalized party favours after writing a cute message on them, or even use them as to number tables at a wedding or restaurant.
- Simple centerpiece (for a group of bottles)
The more the merrier. Group wine bottles at the centre of any table for a simple and rustic centrepiece. Pop a flower in there or wrap them up in twine…get creative!
- Wine bottle soap dispenser
Yes, we love wine so much we want to see a bottle in the bathroom. Luckily, most handsoap dispenser heads are roughly the same size as wine bottle knocks. Screw them on or whittle them down to size. You can also buy dispenser heads especially made for this purpose online.
- Candle holders
For one of those nights where you want to run a warm bath or maybe change the mood settings to ‘romantic’. Just plop a candle in an empty wine bottle and you are well on your way to that cozy ambience you need.
- Bottle garden edging
Line wine bottles down the edges of your garden walkway. (Use the same colour bottles, preferably). It’s an easy way to jazz up your garden for an event, or just because!
- Bottle wall/sectioner
Are you ready for some real workshop stuff? You’re going to need a drill to make holes at the bottom of the wine bottles. Thread some rope through the neck and hole, going down the length of rope (depending on your length specifications) to make a ‘bottle-rope’
Mix and match different colours to get the aesthetics you need. Line them up on a section of your house you need to partition: a patio or kitchen for example. You also need a wooden fixture screwed on the ceiling to support your bottle wall.
You may need a handyman for this one.
- Bottle art
Paint on your bottles. Spray paint the insides gold or silver, paint a lily on the outside of the bottles. Go crazy with this one guys. Express yourself!
- Water dispenser for garden
Wine is nourishment for the spirit. So is a wine bottle for your plants! Fill the bottle with water and tip it upside down into the soil near the root of the plant. Tilt it slightly to regulate the rate of water flowing into the soil. There you have your plants watered- and you didn’t even have to be there.
