We use bottled products every day and without thinking, we throw them in the trash. In fact, glass takes around 4 millennia to decompose in nature. Fortunately, in France, we recycle 80% of the glass used. Today, we offer you an alternative to reuse old glass bottles. Get ready for a DIY day and create an impressive garden decoration with glass bottle. You can even make a gardener gift just to make him happy. Roll up your sleeves and stitch our creative and original ideas to give an artistic note to your living space during the summer.

How to make a garden decoration with a glass bottle?

You don't need to buy anything, because our idea here is to make an eco-friendly DIY. It means using makeshift materials and empty glass bottles. We give them a second life by transforming them into super awesome and easy to make items. There are a thousand and one ways to achieve them. Today, we offer you 20 inspiring DIY ideas to create a garden decoration with a glass bottle.

Turn the glass bottle into a romantic lantern

To have an optimal effect of light, you should use a transparent bottle. Insert battery-powered LED string lights. Choose garlands with small and delicate bulbs, so they can fit through the neck of the bottle. Otherwise, you can make a hole in the lower part of the bottle and insert garlands into it. You do not know how ? No problem. Mark where you are going to drill the hole. Place tape or heavy cardboard over the marked area. Take a small diameter drill bit and start drilling at slow speed. After the hole is drilled, you can change the drill bit to make it bigger. Always hold your drill perpendicular to the bottle and avoid too much pressure. Here ! That's all ! Now,you can put the garlands in it and finally decorate your garden. This little gem can be placed on the table or between the plants in your garden, like little fireflies.

This decoration will give color to your garden without spending a euro. You need a few empty wine bottles and an iron chain. If you want, add small accessories to give your decor a more artistic look. At the end of the chain, hang colorful cardboard figures that you can write inspirational quotes on. To cut the bottom of the bottle, use heat shock. Place a string around the base of the bottle. Heat the bottom with a candle and then immerse the bottle in ice water. To protect yourself from cut edges, stick decorative tape or apply nail polish. Thus, you will give a nice extra accent, as shown in the photo above.

A pretty little bottle planter

If you have larger glass bottles or jars, poke this easy idea. Another possibility is to cut a few wine bottles. You can arrange several plants to make a unique gift. You just have to check if the chosen flowers can exist together in the same pot. Our proposal is to try with the plant Pilea Peperomioides. It is very easy to maintain and very cute with its round leaves. In addition, the Pilea has the reputation of bringing happiness just like the clover. Another possibility is to arrange succulents in a small glass cola bottle.

Turn a bottle into a bird feeder

Do not forget our little winged neighbors. The temperatures in summer increase and the climate becomes very dry. And when you can hide from the heat in a cafeteria and cool off with a drink, birds aren't that lucky. So, if you have a large enough garden, you can hang up a feeder or waterer. Just punch a few holes in a bottle and glue a small plate with a silicone gun. Then, fix a wire around the ring of the bottle to make it hang. A second option is to flip the bottle upside down, with the neck down, as shown in the photo above, but to hang it you need to choose a more specific bottle or pierce it in the middle of the rim.

Marine style garden decor with glass bottles

We don't always have time to spend our holidays by the sea. For this reason, we have chosen to show you this design which will bring the marine atmosphere to your garden. Especially if you combine it with other accessories such as a seashell mobile, white and blue furniture or themed garden armchairs and cushions. So we'll start by painting the bottles. There are two ways to apply the paint - with a large brush or by putting the paint in to color it from the inside. You can then glue different decorative objects - seashells, pearls, ribbons, bells from your old jewelry. Recycle at will.

Customize glass bottles in a unique way

This is perhaps one of the easiest designs to achieve. For the first bottle, all you need is string and glue. For the second - seashells and clay. You can also use polymer clay. If you don't have any of these materials, you can stick them directly to the bottle using silicone. The third bottle here is made with fragments of porcelain (if you just broke a plate). But you can replace them with pieces of sea-frosted glass or pebbles. To complete the summer vibe, add DIY driftwood decorations to breathe a "seaside" air into your garden.

Garden decoration with painted glass bottle

Do you have a talent for painting? This DIY idea is for you. Choose the theme of your exterior decoration, grab the brushes and go for it! You can find plenty of inspiration in your home - flowers, decorative items, butterflies, etc. To bring your design to life, put lights in the bottle. Paint with acrylic paint and fix with special varnish to protect your masterpiece from rain.

Artistic and creative candlesticks

Clean glass bottles well, take a few candles and insert them into the neck of the bottles. As for the bottles - experiment! You can fill them with water and some fresh leaves and flowers, with spices or colorful pasta. Another easy idea is to put dried flowers in it. To achieve a glam look, put glitter in it or stick them on the bottle with transparent glue. Thus, you will have a unique candle holder in a glittery bottle.

Create a bottle-shaped candle to decorate your garden

We love candles! With or without perfume, they give a romantic and cozy air to any space. So if you have leftover candles, don't throw them in the trash. You just have to melt them and then pour the liquid into the bottle. Place a candle wick in the middle of the bottle beforehand. Then break the bottle and decorate with a knot. It's cool, isn't it?

Create beautiful hanging vases

We transform a simple juice bottle into a soliflore! Take various plants and arrange them well in the bottle. You can hang it on a tree, wall or use it as a floral centerpiece. It is a wonderful idea that you can adopt even for your wedding.

These DIY torches are a perfect garden decoration for summer nights. In addition, they are very easy to manufacture. Here are the materials to get:

• a wick
• wine or water bottles
• metal fittings
• torch oil

Fill the bottle with oil and immerse the wick, previously assembled with the metal connector. At the end, stabilize the torch well by putting it in a gravel. Second possibility is to hang it on the wall, but at a distance, as shown in the photo above.

Create candle holders with your children for the holidays

Decorating your bottles is really child's play. Spend the afternoon with your kids giving them the freedom to create and express themselves with easy crafts. Draw funny faces, Christmas designs or flowers for Mother's Day. It is an interesting idea to teach them to recycle and to respect nature while having fun.

Wedding table plan - a nice garden decor with glass bottles

An empty bottle can be made into an elegant decoration for your wedding. Clean the glass bottles well and stick labels with the names of the guests to create an unparalleled seating plan. You can do this project easily and inexpensively. The bottles can be used as place cards, as an artistic part of your centerpiece. You just need to add a few flowers and various foliage to create a romantic and remarkable area. It is the DIY idea that will blend perfectly with the atmosphere of a wedding in your garden.
