How to customize glass bottles?
Making a DIY with glass bottles is within everyone’s reach. Beginners can just use the bottle as is, while more experienced DIYers can tackle projects that involve cutting them up.
If the bottles can be used to create decorations or small practical objects, they are also sufficiently robust to create a rather original coffee table: just use them as legs for an MDF top. When the good weather arrives, here’s a clever piece to give a little too modest a twist to garden furniture or a balcony!
A luminous glass bottle
One of the best-known tips for recycling a glass bottle is to simply use it as a candle holder: put a candle in it, and you’re done. The alternative is to slip in an LED garland to transform it into a light decoration. It doesn’t take much to renew these classics and create downright trendy decorations!
New IKEA products in the Maisons du Monde Indoor Spring Summer catalogue, it’s official: the trend is all about nature and light! To adopt it, we hasten to take the concept at face value.

The centerpiece intended to accommodate the tealight candles is a classic to sublimate the table and create an intimate atmosphere during a dinner. All it takes is a few bottles to pimp it up and give it a lot of personality. This DIY is ideal for accessorizing an industrial table or a cottagecore dining room.
In decoration, all bottles can be recycled, including when they are not alike. To tell the truth, the mix and match is even an opportunity to create really great pieces, such as a suspension to be installed above the island of the industrial or vintage kitchen.
Golden bottle or displaying a skilfully crafted silhouette: some pieces are not lacking in personality. To highlight them, opt for simplicity by accessorizing them with a simple lampshade and transforming them into a table lamp.

Solar lights are the perfect solution for enjoying a terrace or balcony in the evening while saving energy. And you can create very decorative models by customizing recycled glass bottles!
