1. Glitter Holiday Message Bottles

These are gorgeous and such a lovely way to display your Christmas greenery or other foliage.

2. Grinchy Bottles

The Grinch is one of my favorite holiday movies, and I bet you love it, too. You can turn those empty wine bottles into whimsical renditions of your favorite Grinch characters.

Kids will adore these sitting around the mantel and they’re really easy to recreate, even if you’re not really an artist.

3. Christmas Wine Bottle Lamps

This is a great idea for wine bottles of all shapes and sizes. You just clean them up and put clear Christmas lights into them, effectively turning them into gorgeous holiday lamps that you can use to decorate any room.

You can, if you want to make the look permanent, drill a small hole in the back of the bottle at the bottom and feed the lights in so that there’s an easy place for the cord to come out.

4. Twined and Painted Bottles

These lovely white bottles have twine at the tops to give them a bit of a rustic look. You can paint them white and then add red decorations or lettering to create your own holiday message.

Fill them with sprigs of white and red berries to really finish off the look.

5. Dressed Up Bottles

These tiny little scarves and hats are perfect for decorating wine bottles, or just about anything else for that matter. You can paint your bottles first if you want, but you don’t have to.

This is a great way to decorate darker bottles. Just add a hat and scarf to each and they’re ready for winter playing.

6. Glittery Embossed Bottles

Here’s another take on the glittery message bottles. You can use glitter paint to create these and you simply tape on the letters that you want for your message before you paint the bottles.

Then remove the paint and you’ve got your message embossed. You’ll need spray glue, glitter, adhesive letters, and clear coat if you want. This is an easy and fun project that only takes about an hour from start to finish.

7. Wine Bottle Christmas Tree

How adorable is this Christmas tree made from wine bottles? If you’ve got different colored bottles, this would be a great way to incorporate them into your holiday decorating.

All lit up and ready to go, this tree is sure to be a great conversation starter at your holiday parties.

8. Candlestick Bottles

Paint your wine bottles to look like Santa, Frosty, or any other holiday themed character, or however you want, and then display them on tall candlesticks. I love how elegant this looks and you have so many possibilities!

9. Frosted Luminaries

The frosted look really makes these bottles look like winter décor, and the lights just give them a gorgeous glow. You can either use frosted bottles or frost your own if you don’t have any. Either way, this is sure to give you a gorgeous addition to your decorating.

10. Sheet Music Covered Bottles

Why is it that sheet music makes the best Christmas décor? I love these wine bottles covered in sheet music, and particularly with the greenery at the top.

The twine and tiny bells give them just the right vintage look, and they’re so very easy to make.

11. Snowflake Wine Bottle Light

I found this gorgeous snowflake light on Etsy, but you could easily recreate it. You’ll need a blue wine bottle or you’ll need to paint a bottle blue.

The snowflakes are white but you could also do silver if you prefer. Then you just add clear lights and embellish however you want. This is such a simple yet beautiful way to recycle those wine bottles.

12. Santa Face Bottles

Set your creativity loose and use it to create these adorable Santa face wine bottles. The red bottles really show off the white of Santa’s beard, which is painted but you could use cotton balls to make it a bit more lifelike if you wanted. Kids will adore these, and they make wonderful gifts.

13. White Snowflake Bottles

These bottles actually look as if they’ve been sitting out in the snow. The fake snow is a great addition to the already white bottles and really gives them an elegant look. Add red berry sprigs or a hint of silver or gold to really make them luxurious.

14. Wine Bottle Candlesticks

You don’t even have to paint or glitter up your wine bottles to give them a Christmas look. Clear bottles can be used as candlesticks, and when you dress them up with pine sprigs and pinecones, they give you the perfect Christmas décor. Add a taper candle to the top and you’re all done.

15. Snowmen Painted Bottles

Bring some extra whimsy into your holiday decorating with these adorable snowmen bottles. Paint your wine bottles white and then just add the face and any decorations that you want.

These are really easy and you can use them as candlesticks, vases, or just leave them sitting around.

16. Candy Cane Bottles

These wine bottles painted as candy canes are my absolute favorite! I love how elegant they look and you can do different patterns so they don’t all look the same.

Use red glitter and make them really elegant or you could use flat paint if you prefer to make them look a bit more traditional.

17. Penguin Wine Bottle

Your kids are going to adore these little penguins that you can easily make from a wine bottle. You’ll need to paint the bottle black if it’s not already, and then you just dress it up with some googly eyes, a scarf, and a hat.

He’s the cutest penguin ever, and he’s simple to create.

18. Wine Bottle Centerpiece

Use your wine bottles to create this amazing centerpiece. These are painted and glittered in red and gold for a really elegant Christmas look. You can pick up gold serving plates at Dollar Stores for about a dollar each to help create the look.

Add ribbons or other embellishments and really make them special.

19. Multi-Colored Bottle Lamps

Use multi-colored Christmas lights in clear or frosted wine bottles to create this stunning lamp. This is a great project for clear or colored bottles and it’s really easy.

You literally just have to put the lights in the bottle, and maybe tie on a red ribbon. It’s that easy to create beautiful DIY decorations with those empty bottles.

20. Santa’s Coat Wine Bottles

Paint wine bottles red and then dress them up like Santa’s coat. These are really cute and also very easy to make. A little twine at the top really sets them off, and you can use them in a number of ways.

Tie a few gold or silver bells on top or fill them with red or white berry sprigs.
