DIY Wine Bottle Crafts: More Excuses to Buy Wine!
1. Hanging Planter
This hanging planter will look gorgeous in or out of doors, because why not? I'm certain very few homes have this interesting planter going on in their decorations. To make this project, don’t forget to add soil near the mouth of the bottle.
To do this, simply put some tissue in the mouth to cover the hole. Finally, turn the bottle on its side, and place two handfuls of the soil in.
2. Glasses
Want to know how to cut wine bottles for your crafts? Here's an easy way to cut them using a wine bottle cutter. But if you don’t have one, simply use a sharp object to help cut the glass. With this DIY skill, you'll make plenty of glasses made from recycled wine bottles for fun.
3. Bulb Lights

Here’s another great way to cut bottles in half and make your own wine bottle lighting. First, soak cotton wick in acetone and tie it around the bottle.
Next, light the wick with a match, then dip your bottle into a basin of ice cold water. Soon after, you’ll find it has split into two. Now, you can make these fancy pendant lights for your home decor.
4. Citronella Candles
If you're thinking of buying new candle holders, repurpose wine bottles instead. A citronella candle makes for a good mosquito repellant.
Don’t worry if you don’t have any marbles to place at the bottom of the bottle. You can swap those with small pebbles as a substitute.
5. Tiki Torches
Planning a luau soon? You can use your wine bottle corks as tiki torches. Just be mindful of the size of your bottle when looking for a raccord coupling. Try finding one at least half the height of your bottle.
6. Wine Bottle Centerpieces
Decorate wine bottles into gorgeous centerpieces so you can show them off at your next dinner party. To create these wine bottle crafts, simply spray paint your bottles in your preferred color. Once dry, brush on a light coating of glue and sprinkle on a few pinches of glitter.
Tip: When working with glitter, I recommend laying out a sheet of paper to catch the excess. This will help reduce the clean up after the project is done.
7. Bird Feeder
One of the best wine bottle crafts is a recycled project for animals. What makes this bird feeder self-feeding is the L hook placed in the mouth of the bottle. These can be found at your local hardware stores.
8. Wine Bottle Vases
Aren't these repurposed vases fancy? Transform your wine bottle into this eye-catching repurposed home decor. Sweet and simple, right?
9. Succulent Terrarium
Cut off one of the sides of a wine bottle to make a succulent terrarium. To make sure the plants don’t shift, fill both the body and the neck of the bottle with soil. This will prevent the plants from budging as a result.
10. Soap Dispenser
One of the simplest DIY crafts ideas is turning a recycled bottle into a soap dispenser. You can also use other glass bottles like a beer, whiskey, and soda bottle as a substitute.
Simply etch on a label to ensure no one mistakes it for yet another bottle of liquor! If you need help with a stencil, your best bets are either vinyl or contact paper.

11. Garden Marker
A garden marker is a great way to keep track of where your different herbs are. These are especially great for times when you forget which is which. Fortunately, these garden markers should do the trick and make identifying them easier.
Tip: Need help taking the wrapper off a bottle? Simply soak the glass bottle in warm water and peel off the label.
12. Cheese Tray
This is one of the best DIY wine bottle crafts for your next dinner party! Good wine tastes even better when paired with good cheese.
More so when everything is elegantly presented in a DIY cheese tray. This DIY cheese tray also makes a chic plating for the appetizers.
Tip: Although it’s tempting, do NOT preheat the kiln. If the glass bottle gets too hot, it could shatter.
What Is Kiln? It refers to either an oven or a furnace for a variety of tasks such as baking or cooking.
13. Drink Mixers
Need a no-fail-way of reusing your wine bottle craft ideas? Make a batch of your go-to drink mix and store it in the wine bottle. Don’t forget to bring it to the next dinner party you attend.
14. Self-Watering Planter
One of the best ways to upcycle your wine bottles is by turning them into sustainable home decor. You won't need to worry about forgetting to take care of your plant with this self-watering planter. Now, all you have to do is remember to refill the water in these vases once it runs out.
15. Hand Painted Centerpiece
Show off your artistic side with these hand-crafted centerpiece ideas. To make this particular hand-painted art piece, start off by coating a layer of frosted paint on the bottle. Once dry, begin creating your tree.
Add a few embellishments with a glue gun and sequins, then finish off by placing some string lights inside. For wine bottle crafts for Christmas, paint a pine tree and fill it with Christmas lights.
Tip: When putting on the branches for your wine bottle artwork, don't forget to start from the base or the part of the branch attached to the tree. That way, you end up having a drawing of a thicker branch base.
16. Dragonfly Yard Art
Add some decor to your yard with this unique dragonfly artwork made from wine bottles! In case you're wondering what the pair of eyes is made of, here's the idea: Use a pair of Christmas ball ornaments. Simply paint them in a metallic green before you attach them to the rest of the bug.
17. Wind Chimes
This wine bottle wind chime makes use of three recycled wine bottles. But you can also opt to add more. When picking accessories to place at the end of the chime, don't forget to get something lightweight but not feather-light.
If your accessory is too heavy, it might not flow with the wind. However, if it's too light, it won't make an audible sound.
18. Food Storage Containers
Instead of cutting your wine bottle in half, why not cut it at the base of the bottleneck? You can even opt to cut it diagonally to retrieve your treats easily. You can use cork balls as bottle covers for a unique look.
19. Beachy Accents
Missing the beach a little too much? Cure it with a little DIY project you can place on the table or shelf, like these beach-inspired accents.
Want a tighter weave on the netting? Simply use more strands of rope for these wine bottle crafts.
