If you know me and the hubs at all you know we loooove our wine, so I figured something wine themed would be appropriate, and I came up with this:
The thing I love most about this is that I can switch up the candle color and even the contents to make it festive for holidays. For example:
St. Pats - Added a Green Candle |
Christmas - Red Candle and Added Jingle Bells |
Materials:
- Big huge hurricane - there are tons of places you can get these but I got mine at Michaels with a 50% off coupon
- Candle (buy either a tall or a medium height one)
- Corks - either save them up from the wine you drink or you can buy a huge bag of them on ebay for cheap - I went the ebay route
- Juice glass (if you bought a medium height candle)
- Cork trivit - if you want to protect your table from the glass (I got mine at Ikea)
- Place candle in hurricane.
- If you bought a medium height candle and it doesnt come up high enough in the hurricane, place a small juice glass at the bottom of the hurricane and place the candle on top.
- Fill the surrounding area with corks.
- Yup its that easy your done!!

Love your ideas. Keep them coming.....
ReplyDeleteClever! I filled a giant martini glass with old wine corks. My dog recently discovered that he can get to the wine corks and stole one to chew on. I guess that's the end of my wine cork decor unless I get a hurricane like yours.
ReplyDeletevery clever!

That's a wonderful idea! I have TONS of corks waiting to be upcycled. Found you through the link party. :)
ReplyDeleteFabulous idea! Thanks so much for linking up!
ReplyDeleteThis is a great idea. I have a flower pot FULL of corks I save from wine we drink. I am always looking for cute ideas to use them!
ReplyDeleteLove this idea!
ReplyDeleteWe have so many corks, too! I've filled several large vases and apothecary jars.
