It’s Wednesday – which means is Wines-day. Just kidding. Every day is Wines-day in my world.
And since I love wine, I also end up with a lot of bottles and corks. And I can’t recycle glass in my area, so I hold onto them for inspiration to strike.
Here are a few of the upcycling projects I’ve come up with in the past three months – click over to see them on the Protea blog.
Rake wine station
Using a full rake, this is the perfect outdoor bar area. (And it’s removable so you don’t have to sacrifice your rake.)
Ryan helped me make the copper top for a wine bottle, which resulted in a lovely (and practical) jewelry display for my jewelry “regulars.”
This is the simplest project for a wine and cheese party – use old corks to create cheese labels.
Wine bottle oil and vinegar pourers
Keep oil and vinegar close-at-hand – and more importantly, super cute.
This ring toss is a fun game for all ages – whip one up for your next barbecue.
This was my first experience with bottle cutting, and I’m hooked. I used the top of solar lights to create some ambience on the patio.
You make those bottles look so good! Thanks for all of your great ideas this year…we can’t wait to reveal all of your fall wine bottle crafts, too. Cheers!
I definitely need more wine bottle and cork projects….goodness knows we go through enough of them ;). Keep ’em coming!
There’s never enough wine projects, in my opinion.
the cork cheese markers are my favorite. and i will help you empty bottles for crafts if you need me to. in the name of being a good friend and all.
You are seriously such a good friend. Generous.
