Up-Cycled Bottles


Not sure what to do with those empty wine or beer bottles? Up-cycle them into bright vases.

Don't worry about peeling the label off, but rinse and let them dry. Find some brightly colored yarn, some ribbon, and an over-sized button or other embellishment.

Start from the mouth of the bottle with a slip knot and begin wrapping from the top down. This will prevent the yarn from slipping on the neck. When finished, you can add a dab of hot glue and then hide the tail into the rest of the yarn. I added buttons, but you could also hot glue small plastic flowers, beads, or other embellishments to add to a spring or summer look. Up-cycled and beautiful!
