Every time that I throw a wine bottle into the recycling bin I cringe just a little bit. I get that little upcycling angel/devil on my shoulders that say, Wait don’t throw me in the recycling bin, upcycle me, you know I can become a candle holder, a vase, a planter, a terrarium… and at the risk of becoming a hoarder I rinse out the bottle and stash it with my other vases until it’s project time. Now that the cupboard is filling up I figure it’s time to actually *do* something with these bottles and so I’ve put together a little inspiration board. I’m leaning towards taking the bottles to a glass cutter to makes some tumbler glasses.
I hope that you also find it inspiring for when those little angel/devils appear on your shoulders!

This made me laugh because ( as a self-proclaimed and proud non-hoarder) I hoard wine bottles and sometimes buy them for their different shapes and sizes to one day use for a vase, lamp, decoration, water jug, etc. Before you take them to a glass cutter, I’ll find the link my partner found-he found some diy way to cut your own bottles to make into tumblers, etc.
Thanks for this inspiration board, now I have even more reasons to save them!

Like the ideas for numbers 10 + 11. I went to a vineyard when I was on holiday this summer and they used wine bottles are lights on the veranda – I loved them. If you like, you can see them here (about half way down in the post): http://brightbazaar.blogspot.com/2011/08/photographic-highlights-my-trip-to.html

@Mari I’d love the link for the glass cutter– I know they have cheap DIY glass cutters but I was always a bit afraid– wasn’t sure if they really work?!
