10 Uses for Up-Cycled Wine Bottles {inspiration}

I’m back at it with the wine bottles again!  After I posted my How to Cut a Wine Bottle DIY, I promised I would share some great uses for all those empty wine bottles, and there are TONS.  I’m definitely going to have some fun collecting the materials for these great wine bottle crafts ;) .  I’ve already made a few fun things with the unused corks like the Wine Cork Bath Mat, but now I’m itching for more!  This brings me to today’s inspirational post, 10 Uses for Up-Cycled Wine Bottles

  1. Hi! This is an amazing technique! Thank you for the tutorial!
    Imwasmwondering, when you make the wine bottle glasses, do you need to sand the opening after cutting it?! It must be sharp no?!
    And if I have, lets say, beer bottles with a paper sticksr that I would like to keep, how can I keep it clean?? Could I mudpodge hit or something? Thank you!!

    • Yes, you would want to use sandpaper to smooth out sharp edges for glasses, they are a bit more difficult…To preserve the stickers I would definitely use something like mod podge, dice it will protect them and go on clear.

      Best of luck!

  3. Can you tell me what mod podge is? I’m in New Zealand and have never heard of it,although I often see it mentioned on craft sites.
    Thanks

    • Mod podge is a brand of paper-mache glue, the brand name has become generic. Problem is, it is not waterproof, so it would not necessarily protect the labels from water and spills, though it would keep the label from peeling off too quickly.

  5. If you use the outdoor mod podge I believe it is waterproof. Or at the very least a little more weather resistant than the regular kinds.

    • I made a set for my boss’s wife for Christmas. My husband drilled a hole on each side of the votive holder. We put a clasp through each hole to hold the votive to the chain. I purchased my chain at Walmart in the jewelry crafting section.
