Cool idea: old wine bottles repurposed as candle holders

While visiting the NPR building in Washington DC this week, I saw these cool wine bottle candle holders in the gift shop




I thought that this was a pretty neat idea. why not repurpose the bottles instead of throwing them out.

What else could you repurpose a wine bottle for? I guess maybe something like a bird feeder. You could maybe make some sort of tiki torch as well. What about a penny piggy bank... not sure if pennies will fit.. but dimes might and you can always just put dollar bills in the bottle... but in order to get the bills out, you might have to break the bottle


Here are also some wine bottles with labels based on NPR podcast titles, that was pretty cool as well

I am not familiar with these podcast shows, the only NPR podcast I listen to on a regular basis is Planet Money
