So I have decided to take up a new hobby. Working with empty wine bottles. I will not be drinking the wine because I'm not 21, but I am hoping with the help of my older brother who is old enough to drink, and is a wine connoisseur of sorts, and my parents I will be able to collect empty wine bottles. There are tons of things you can do with wine bottles. Turn them into lights, make candle hurricanes, regular candle holders, oil and soap dispensers, containers for small things like candy, vases, and even the corks can be reused. I'm most excited to try out the Wine Bottle Lights, but also the candle hurricane and candle holders. I first have to order a glass cutter, but after that I should be golden. I can't wait! 

If you're interested in making your own Wine Bottle projects, here is a video to show you how to cut them, some websites that tell you how to make some things, and a link to the glass cutter.

If you like fresh herbs, here's a windowsill garden using wine bottles:  http://www.designsponge.com/2010/05/we-like-it-wild-bottle-gardens.html

Here's an entire page of things you can do with wine bottles, but I don't think every picture tells you how you can do it: http://iwanttomakethis.com/2012/01/new-life-for-empty-wine-bottles.html

And lastly here are ten things you can do with wine bottles with step by step instructions.: http://www.favecrafts.com/Wine-Bottle-Crafts/10-Things-to-Do-With-Old-Wine-Bottles#

If you just want to know what some of this stuff looks like, but don't want to click the links (which I totally understand) here you go. I found all of these images on Google by typing in things like "Wine bottle ideas" or "Wine bottle candle hurricanes". You can get more specific based on what you're looking for.
