Eight Ways You Can Repurpose Glass Bottles

I love repurposing old things if I can – so does Steve. We recycle as much as possible but recently found ourselves with an excess of glass bottles. We get milk and orange juice delivered by my brother – the local milkman – and had quite a few to hand. Steve came up with an idea of how to repurpose them -using them as a cute little vase for flowers. The kids had bought me some beautiful daffodils for Mother’s Day and we dotted them around the house, they looked absolutely beautiful – especially with the fake ones they had also made me for Mother’s Day. I only wish I had remembered to take a better picture beforehand!

That got me to thinking though – what other ways can glass bottles be repurposed and reused around the home? I asked some bloggers and they shared their uses with me which you can see below.

Izzy from Muccy Cloud shared with me these fab lights that her mum had made from glass wine bottles. I must admit that this is something I would never have thought of!

How pretty is this spray painted wine bottle with paper tulip from Charlotte over at Mama Makes Do? I love it!

Sally from Life Loving shared her experience of a bottle cutting workshop and the amazing things they made including drinking tumblers! Sounds like a fab experience.

This DIY cacti planter from Vicky Myers Creations is absolutely incredible and so creative. I’m in awe.

These DIY alternative Christmas gifts from Tea And Cake For The Soul – personalised bistro candle holders – are fantastic and a lovely idea if you want to gift something a little different during the festive season.
