Wine Bottle Recycling Ideas

🕯️ 1. Candle Holders or Lanterns

Cut the bottom off and place over a tea light or small candle.

Or insert a taper candle in the neck (may need to melt slightly to fit).

Paint or etch the glass for a unique touch.

🌱 2. Self-Watering Planters

Cut the bottle in half, flip the top into the base, add soil and plant.

Thread a cotton wick through the neck to keep the soil moist.

🪴 3. Hanging Garden or Herb Planters

Mount bottles horizontally on a board or wall with metal clamps.

Fill with small pebbles, soil, and herbs or succulents.

🌟 4. Fairy Light Bottles

Stuff battery-operated string lights inside.

Add decorative stones or glitter for extra flair.

🧂 5. Oil or Vinegar Dispensers

Add a spout top (easy to find online).

Fill with olive oil, infused vinegar, or homemade liqueurs.

🖼️ 6. Decorative Vases

Soak off the label, paint or wrap with twine.

Use for fresh flowers, dried arrangements, or pampas grass.

🕊️ 7. Wine Bottle Wind Chimes

Cut into rings or use necks as-is.

String with beads, shells, and metal for sound and style.

💡 8. Tabletop Torches

Fill with citronella oil and insert a wick.
