Calling all wine connoisseurs: just sucked down the last drop of Cabernet? Polished off the last bottle of Pinot? Don’t throw the empty bottles away – there are lots of ways you can repurpose them. Take a look at the DIY projects below and let us know how they turn out:

Serve Summer Cocktails: decorate your empty wine bottles with candy wrappers and you’ve got yourself the perfect gilded bottle for summer cocktails. Try matching the candy wrapper with the type of cocktail you’re serving for added splendor!

Host A Dinner Party: thinking about having your friends over for the next edition of your seasonal dinner parties? Paint empty wine bottles with chalkboard paint and write down the table number on the bottle. This way you can organize where you guests will be seated.

Decorate The Kitchen With Cooking Quotes: Have a favorite kitchen or home-related quote? Similar to the project above, paint the glass with chalkboard paint and then write the quote on the bottle. Put them on display on the counter, on top of the cabinets or on the kitchen table.

Create A Centerpiece: fill an old wine bottle with holiday lights or head out to the yard and gather your favorite flowers. Not only will it make for a nice addition to the table, it will likely be a conversation starter.

Make A Wine Bottle Shelf: whether you’re looking to store your wine bottles or create shelving anywhere else in the house, a wine bottle shelf will show off your artistic ability. Separate each layer of shelving with empty wine bottles.
