To reuse and revamp your old wine bottles. Not only does it go easy on the planet, it goes easy on your budget.

Going eco is the hot new trend, and for good reason. Sure, you could throw your used wine bottles into a recycling bin and in fact, you should–but why not try your hand at upcycling instead?

By upcycling your old wine bottles into candelabras, wind chimes, and all sorts of crafts, you save tons by not purchasing store-bought decor.

So, it’s got something for every season, every celebration, every occasion, and every aesthetic preference of yours.

We hope that somewhere along this long list of wine bottle craft suggestions, you’ve found something to your specific liking. By upcycling your wine bottles, you’re doing your bit to pretty up your home and also to pretty up our planet. So good job!

Now, Here is list of the most beautiful wine bottle crafts to upcycle your old wine bottles:

Elegant Flower Vases

These matte white vases go well with neutral decor. Add a painted bottom of glitter to it for an eye-catching contrast, and insert some vibrant flowers to really make the colors pop.

To make these chic flower vases, clean your wine bottles, then let them dry. Place tape on the bottom portion of the bottles (straight or sloping), then paint the untapped part with white craft paint. The tape will serve as a guide to put the glue and glitter on. Only apply glue and glitter after your paint has dried.

When choosing the color of the paint or glitters, consider matching them with the color scheme of your house. You could make the colors of the paint and glitter complement each other, like by using black paint and gold glitter.

Place fresh flowers into your new vase, and display it on a tabletop to make an interesting centerpiece.

Wine Bottle Candle Centrepiece

To start with creating this rustic-style tabletop decor, vary the heights of your bottles, by cutting out varying portions of the bottles. Don’t forget to smoothen out any sharp edges.

Next, get a slab of wood and tea candles. Place the tealights on the slab, light the wicks, and cover the candles with your cut wine bottles.

Wine Bottle Pantry Storage

The pantry is an oft-neglected part of kitchen decor , just rows and rows of shelves, with sauces in the cans they came in, and grains in the bags they were sold in. And sure, that sort of pantry has its own charms, but if you want to add a unique personal touch to your pantry, consider this upcycled bottle craft.

I recommend that you use clear, uncolored wine bottles so that you can easily recognize what’s inside. These bottles also look much nicer than the plastic packs which beans or lentils usually come in.

Leave the cork on your pantry items will do fine, and the corks add a nice rustic touch.

Stick on some waterproof labels too. They pretty up your storage space further and make sorting your pantry easier.

Upcycled Bottle Candelabras

Wine Bottle Candelabras are great ornaments for a wedding, for a formal occasion, or really just for lining the stairs of your porch.

The glow of the candles, the melting white wax, and the matte black glass, gives these candelabras a mystical and elegant vibe.

Simply remove the bottle labels, spray paint the bottle black, then place a tapered candle into the neck of the bottle. Quickly light the wick, so that the melting wax would secure the candle to the bottle.

Cute Succulent Planters

Succulents are in vogue right now, and it’s not hard to see why - they’re portable, adorable, and easy to care for.

Easily make planters for your succulents by upcycling your wine bottles. It’s eco-friendly, and has a neutral look perfect for modern decor.

Just cut out the bottom portion of the bottle, add potting soil into that portion, carefully repot your succulent, add more soil, and pat that down.  

You can leave the wine labels on for a touch of elegance, and also vary the labels for each planter.

Thrifty Kitchen Lighting

Kitchen lighting can cost quite a bit, so why not get frugal by upcycling your wine bottles into pendant lights?

Remove the labels on a clear wine bottle, then cut out and dispose of the bottle’s bottom. Wire up the top portion to a lamp cord set - the bottle serves as a ‘cover’ for your light fixture.

For a decorative touch, wrap dark wire around the bottle. Secure the wire by hooking the ends into the lip of the bottle and into the bottle head respectively.

Quirky Popsicle Stick Table Lamp

This matte white table lamp, decorated with pale popsicle sticks, is sure to add a unique touch to a neutral, IKEA sort of home decor.

You’ll need a wine bottle painted white as the stand, and a cardboard box plus the plastic case of a PC cooling fan for the shade. Grab some popsicle sticks too, to cover the shade with.

As you are, after all, DIY-ing a lamp, this project does require a bit of technical knowledge and meddling with electronics, but it’s nothing unsurmountable.

Festive Gnome Wine Bottles

To be honest, I’m a little ambivalent about garden gnomes - quite a few of them look pretty creepy to me. But these gnome-inspired bottle toppers are surely an adorable exception.

You’ll just need felt for the hats, pom-poms for the hat tips, ball head pins (or beads, furniture buttons, etc) for the noses, faux white fur for the beards, and hot glue to hold it all together.

It’s the perfect project when you’re in a rush, and you probably already have everything you need.

Adorable Halloween Candelabra

The word “spoopy” can feel a little weird to me, but how else could I describe the cute, not-really-spooky decorations that are great for kid-friendly Halloweens these days? Anyway, that’s what this bottle candle is.

All you need for this craft is paint, glitter, googly eyes, hot glue (for that melting wax effect), and a tapered candle.

I also recommend trying a version with red paint and red-colored hot glue, for a dripping blood effect.

Bottle Vase Centrepiece

This wooden rack of upcycled flower vases, is great for an eco-themed, neutral tablescape. It’s both a centrepiece and a planter, and you can craft it with just a little carpentry knowledge.

Nail together four pieces of wood to make the rack. The top plank should have evenly-spaced, drilled-out holes that fit the mouths of your wine bottles. If you wish, you could apply wood stains, polish, a sander, etc, to the rack.

Upcycled Self-Watering Planters

These planters are eco-friendly, keep thirsty plants healthy, and even add a chic, hipster touch to your garden.

For this project, you’ll need a wine bottle (cut into two separate pieces you’ll both need), rubber stoppers, a square of window screen, string, potting soil, and of course, your plants.

Add a chalkboard decal strip to your planter - it’s a cute and decorative step that also serves as a helpful label.

Cut Bottle Centrepieces

These charming cut-bottles are perfect for a variety of occasions. All you need is cut bottles, craft wire, and some decorating supplies.

Remove bottle labels, and cut the bottles’ bottoms out. For a three-bottle centrepiece, vary the heights, leaving the middle bottle the tallest. Add decorations such as burlap strips, lace, ribbons, flower embellishments, and monogrammed cardstock.

Attach a wire holder to the cork of the bottle. Slot in whatever you wish— try table numbers for a wedding, photographs for a birthday, and love letters for an anniversary.
