Use colorful marbles to decorate the base of your wine bottle. Small rocks work well too. Just throw each in, one by one, filling up half of the bottle.
Wrap a 1/2 inch x 3/8 inch copper coupling with teflon tape so that it will fit snuggly into the mouth of the bottle. Set the coupling down in place at the mouth of the wine bottle. Don’t press it down into the bottle just yet.
Once the coupling appears to fit well at the mouth of the wine bottle, remove it and slide a 1/2 inch replacement wick torch through it.
Leave about 1/2 an inch of the wick sticking out of the top to light.
Using a funnel at the mouth of the bottle, carefully add torch fluid inside. Using a funnel will drastically reduce the fluid that spills on the outside of your bottle.
Do not fill the bottle with torch fluid all the way. Be sure to leave some space for the wick, ensuring that the fluid will not overflow.
Add the wick into the wine bottle, pressing in on the teflon tape, so that the coupling fits tightly.
When the torch is not in use, keep the copper cap on, so that the wick stays dry.
10. Prepare an Easy and Elegant Wine Bottle Centerpiece
DIY Difficulty: Easy
Using 8 to 12 bottles of wine, this simple centerpiece could not be any easier to create.
Here’s How:
The bottles do not need to match perfectly – they can vary in both height and color. Green ones are especially beautiful in the sunlight.
Wash them out and remove all the labels.
To finish up, fill the bottles to the same level with water and add flowers/
Be sure to keep the stems long so that they will remain tall in the bottles.
