Wine drinkers, your time has come. You can now turn your wine bottles into home decor — or buy some from someone who put their empty bottles to good use! Drink up, fam.
Turns out, wine bottles are pretty versatile.
Look at that array of colors!

How industrial chic does that look? It has a little hint of rustic, too.

Some artists have taken to etching designs into their bottles.
I am so about this! WillettWares on Etsy really brought the homemade with this one:
“This rose etched wine bottle pendant lamp is upcycled from a wine bottle out of my friend’s recycled bin!”
It’s available for $25.
