Unique Wine Bottle Decor

In our house, there are a lot of different kinds of crafts that get done each week. We’re just that kind of DIY obsessed family! Lately, however, we’ve been particularly obsessed with projects that upcycle different kinds of glasswares to save us from piling them up in our recycling bin. That’s how we discovered the fun of wine bottle DIY!

Just in case you love the idea of turning empty wine bottles into lovely crafting projects just as much as we do, if not more, here are 15 of the very best ideas, designs, and tutorials that we’ve come across so far in our search for inspiration.

Are you actually hoping to keep things very simple and classic looking indeed because your whole reason for searching wine bottle crafts is actually just to add something slightly upcycled chic to a wedding’s decor? In that case, we really think you’ll get a kick out of the way Visca Wedding put these lovely bottles on display. They simply soaked the labels off, cleaned them well, gave them a shine, and used them as they are! We like the way they included different sizes and shapes in their display.

Beyond that, they also turned their wine bottle into a hand soap dispenser in a cute but simple way!

Have you always had a soft spot in your heart for wine bottles and glass decor that has a range of blue and teal colours to it? WE have because it reminds us of the sea glass we used to find on the beach as kids, but we find that these kinds of bottles are more difficult to come by in stores. That’s why we were so pleased when we found this tutorial from Start Believing in Forever that teaches us how to simply tint the glass those shades we love so much ourselves!
