Thread: liquor bottle crafts?

hey i have a bunch of empty liquor and wine bottles etc. and im just itching to use them for something. i keep collecting them and feeling like theres some great project out there for them but i just need alittle help. i have some ranging from, beeker to frappacino bottles{like the starbucks from gas stations} to wime bottles, square liquor bottles and upto the huge gallon like captin morgin. any suggestions?

I know people make candles with them but I dont know how....also maybe colored sand??

hmm yeah thats right you can make those pre melted colorful ones

look up wine bottle lights - stuff christmas lights inside. Some people drill a hole in bottom for the cord - others let it hang out. Some people decorate with glass pebbles, jewels or greenery, others paint the outside (designs or just frosted paint). Also use to make regular lamps - cut down to make vases, glasses candle holders. clean and sanitize to hold home made liquers for gifting

I make lamps out of funky liquor bottles. I also hand decorate shades to match! Everyone I know loves them!!

I have seen people make lava lamps out of liquor bottles, but I don't know how to do it lol

Hello...
You can buy a cool bottle cutting kit at www.etchworld.com and it works great.They also have etching creams and stencils that are super easy to use too.You might also conscider glass engraving.I buy from them all the time.Check them out.

With the reg. sze wine bottles you can drill a hole in bottom with glass drill bit,then wash out glass chips good,let dry well. Add clear christmas lights,then add a flower pick and nice bow. These are real pretty if you have nice labels on the bottles.Might want to type in wine bottle crafts n addy bar and see what you come up with also. Hope this helps some. Good luck!

a simple craft I do with them is to paint the outside with acrylic paints and then decoupage them. I have some I put angels on and made them into vases and put a rose or two and made a little card to hang off of the flowers. They come out really nice. I also decoupaged whiskey bottles I made these into Dallas Cowboy themed bottles. I paint them blue, then put silver around the bottom rim, silver around the top and then decoupage favorite players on each side etc. I use the triple coat sealer but I can not think of the name of it, you can get it at Wal Mart or most craft stores it gives it a really glossy shine. I will try to get you some pics if you like this idea, I am having problems getting my camera to hook up the computer for some reason so if I can get this figured out later tonight or maybe tomorrow I can get some pics ok =)

i saw on hgtv where they made a table. the bottles were the legs, and you have to cut a piece of wood for the top. it was real cool, maybe you could do a search on their site and find it.

I've seen people making bottles for your dish soap, by adding some decorative rub-on transfers or paint the outside, then add a pouring top, like you put on liquor bottles to pour shots (I'm not sure what you call them, but the have them at Linens 'n Things & Bed, Bath & Beyond)
