With the holiday season ramping up, we’re all drinking a little (or a lot) more wine than normal. This year, put those empty wine bottles to work by turning them into festive DIY holiday centerpieces. We’re always on the lookout for fun wine bottle art projects, and these DIY centerpieces are perfect for this festive season.
We have instructions for making a centerpiece to look just like the photo, but this can also be used as a starting point – get creative with glitter, burlap or other festive holiday decorations while you do this project. And, of course, be sure to pour yourself a glass of wine while you craft!
Supplies:
- 3 empty wine bottles, labels removed
- 1-3 short strands of battery-powered LED lights
- Spray paint in festive colors
- Greenery
- Ribbon or other festive decorations
Instructions:
- Spray paint your three wine bottles with festive colors and let them dry. You can opt for any colors you like. (We went with gold and maroon.)
- Tie ribbon around one or more of the bottles, making a bow.
- Fill at least one (or all three) of the bottles with a small strand of battery-powered Christmas lights or LED fairy lights. Be sure to keep the switch toward the top of the bottle, so you can turn them on and off as needed. If the switch for your lights won’t fit inside the bottle, tuck it behind the ribbon to hide it.
- Arrange the bottles on your table along with some greenery.
- Pour yourself a glass of wine and enjoy your new decorations!
Need some wine bottles for this project? We have the perfect online store to stock up on bottles. (They even come pre-filled with incredible northern Michigan wine!)
Holiday DIY Craft Ideas: Pistachios & Wine Bottles
Upcycling and repurposing have been a trend for the last few years. People come up with some of the most unique ideas and it saves what many would consider trash from hitting the landfill. We searched the internet for some fun Christmas craft ideas using pistachio shells and wine bottles since they are the leftovers you will have after enjoying our Heart of the Desert pistachios and wines .
Pistachio Shell Christmas Trees
Blessed Beyond Crazy, a mother-daughter team, came up with these great pistachio Christmas trees. All you need is a Styrofoam craft cone and some hot glue… and, well, of course, your leftover pistachio shells after you’ve finished snacking. These cute trees only took about 35-45 minutes of work.
If you want to dress them up, consider using pipe cleaners for garland, small cotton balls for lights, a small star for the top, or whatever else your imagination conjures up!

Pistachio Shell Ornaments
Better Homes and Garden shared this lovely ornament idea using pistachio shells. These take an egg-shaped Styrofoam, hot glue, and pistachio shells. Pretty it up with some ribbon and maybe even some glitter paint.
Find the instructions for this ornament on BHG
Snowmen Wine Bottles
Lipstick on the Lake shared this cute snowman DIY project with wine bottles. You’ll need acrylic paint, brushes, felt, ribbon, and hot glue for this project. Obviously, you also need your leftover Heart of the Desert wine bottles once you’ve savored every last drop.

Light-up Wine Bottles
Lighting up wine bottles used to be a chore because you would need to cut a hole in the bottom of the glass for the cord. Now you can buy wine bottle lights that have the power switch in the cork for the top. So easy. Just search “wine bottle lights” on Amazon to find what you are looking for.
Your creativity comes in to design them. You can paint them however you want. You can use stencils and frost around them. You can use sticky back foam shapes and spray paint around them. Or just leave them as they are. Only your imagination holds you back.
Wine Cork Wreath
How about this wine cork wreath created by My Turn For Us? If you have been collecting wine corks for quite a while, this project may be just for you.
You’ll need a foam wreath, hot glue and lots of corks. Add some festive berries and Christmas greenery to make it festive.

We hope you have fun trying some of these ideas. We had fun researching them and are ready to try some of our own. If you need more pistachio shells and wine bottles, place your order for snacking and festive drinking on our website, www.heartofthedesert.com .
