10 Really Cool Ways To Re-Use Those Empty Wine Bottles

Cheers from quarantine!

The month of April is Earth Month, and similar to New Year resolutions, it’s a great time to check just how “green” you are. A time to evaluate whether we are recycling, repurposing and reusing. In honor of Earth Day, we decided that this was the perfect time to repurpose those empty wine bottles piling up in the recycling bin.

If you find yourself at home with extra time on your hands or perhaps a wine glass in your hand, check out these DIY reusable wine bottle ideas. All these projects can be completed with materials you already have at home or you may need to order some items online.

Zest It Up

Great use for the empty white wine bottles. If you purchase your olive oil in bulk this a great idea.

DIY Network

This project is certainly more work than the others we have on the list but what a great way to spruce up your kitchen, bar or dining room.

Times LIVE

I love the simple elegance of this idea. Leave empty bottles like this or top with a candle.

Upcycled Stuff

Tricia with Upcycled Stuff does a great job on this video taking you step by step on how to create decorative hummingbird feeders. This is also a great opportunity to repurpose some old jewelry for decoration.

Newcomb Home

This is really too simple to add but since I went to IKEA and bought 4 water bottles, I thought is was necessary to list. :)

Le Crema and Freckled Italian

I happen to have a large neglected succulent plant my husband has been dragging around from house to house for years. I think I will break it up and give this project a try this week.

This is a clever way to repurpose those wine bottles while adding a little flavor to your life. This tutorial includes the three infused vinegar recipes plus the printables for the cute labels if you decide to gift these beauties.

Crafty Cuts

This DIY cork letter is one of my favorite. I think Madi and I will do this as a virtual wine drinking craft this week.

Yarni Gras

This is a great idea for repurposing old canapé knives. Do you have some old ceramic holiday knives that are chipped or faded?

Pink Fortitude

I have been saving this one for last. This is my inspiration that this pandemic will be over soon and we will be able to see our family and friends by Memorial Day.

So what do you think - do any of these ideas inspire you? Please upload any wine bottle or wine cork crafts you have completed. We want to see them all.
