Creative Ways to Use Champagne Containers
1. Gold-Glitter Bottle Decor
Want to create a luxurious and classy bottle decor at home? Try this gold-glittered bottle decor! It can be a perfect centerpiece or a solo decor on your shelf.
What you need to achieve in this project is to get that ombre effect. All you need is the champagne bottle, glitter and metallic spray paint, and a ribbon.
- To start, spray metallic gold paint on the bottle as a base coat. You do not have to include the neck, just the lower body of the bottle.
- Spray from bottom to top to achieve the fade-out effect. Leave it to dry. Make sure that each time you spray, you have to let it dry first.
- Spray glitter paint on the bottle. Again, start from bottom to top. Do not cover the entire gold paint, just the lower half.
- You can repeat another coating of glitter to achieve the fuller coverage.
- Tie a white ribbon around the bottle’s neck.
2. Bookshelf
If you have a lot of books that need proper storage at home, this project is for you! What you need for this are the bottles, wood, and glue.
- To make this project, secure the size and shape of wood for your shelf. The number of wood depends on the size of the shelf you want.
- For the base of each layer, you will need four bottles, two for each end. Drill each wood with four holes, two for each end. Make the hole is enough to fit the neck of the bottle.
- Do the previous step for the remaining layers of wood. You will also need some pieces of wood without holes.
- Smoothen the hole’s edges using sandpaper.
- To assemble the shelf, use the wood as the base. Do not drill this.
- Apply a lining of glue around the bottom of the bottle.
- Stick the bottom of the bottle to the wood. Do this for the other three bottles. Make sure the bottles are in the perfect distance for the next layer of wood. Leave it to dry.
- Top the next layer of wood in the bottle. Make sure to insert the necks of the bottles into the holes.
- Measure the length of the bottles that are sticking out on the next layer.
- Cut a piece of wood based on the length mentioned in the previous step. The width should be 2-3 inches. You will need this for support on the layers.
- Apply a lining of glue to each bottle’s mouth and the small wood for support. For the wood, place it on the center, and the glue should be on the top and bottom parts.
- Carefully place a layer of wood without holes on top of them.
- Repeat steps 6-12 until you achieve the number of layers for your shelf.
