Many of us, in our everyday lives, face routines. One of the routines is disposing of glass bottles simply because we don’t know what to do with them. The junkyards are filled with glass bottles perfectly fine to serve as something more than liquid storage.
If you have a few empty wine bottles and don’t know what to do with them, we have a couple of ideas to share with you. If the bottles you own have labels that you want to remove, simply soak your bottles in hot water mixed with some soap and let them stay for 20 minutes before peeling off the label.
Get creative with your wine bottles, choose a fun project, and start today. Comment on your progress below.
