5 Quirky Uses is a new periodic feature for Strange & Charmed. For each post, I will select an everyday item and suggest five alternate uses or ways to upcycle the item in a fun or unusual way. Keep up with these posts with the Quirky Uses category!
For my second installment of 5 Quirky Uses I decided to focus on an object that fills many a recycling can, wine bottles! There are many arts and crafts projects that involve empty wine bottles that are easily accessible through Pinterest, but to stray away from those more complicated upcycling projects, I decided to focus on uses for the bottle whole! So, without further ado, here are 5 ways to use an empty wine bottle(s).
- Stuff them into tall boots to help them keep their shape.
- Fill them with a string of lights for an interesting lighting option.
- Fill them with water and use them as a vase for long flowers.
- Stick a taper candle into the neck and use them as a candle stick.
- Fill them with sand, cork them and use them as book ends.
