Recycled Bottles as Favors, Centerpieces & Table #s

Lately I've seen a ton of great ideas for re-using wine bottles and corks floating around the internet. We visited family this week and one of our aunts had a painted bottle of champagne (still full) on her mantel, which she was given as a favor. It was accented with beautiful silk flowers and custom ribbon with the name of a young lady and the date of her quinceanera. I thought it was a wonderful favor idea, so I've compiled examples of ways to upcycle bottles for your event, to be used as favors, centerpieces, and table numbers. It's also an economical way to decorate on a budget. I hope you enjoy the variety of ways recycled bottles can be used for your event at little cost with a significant impact.

Bedazzle your bottles and hand them out as favors!

Remove the tops of bottles for an artistic look.

Vinyl monogram letter (with lights). You can also etch initials in the bottles.

Just insert candlesticks for an eye catching, and earth-friendly recycled bottle centerpiece.



Lace & tulle on white bottles for a simplistic design.

Chalkboard paint makes decorative bottles versatile.

Vinyl table numbers

Family photos (these are even better if you remove the bottom/top and insert a votive inside for a lighted effect.

 These metallic painted bottles would be good for the holidays.

 

Add a tassle, bow and flower for an elegant look.

Bottles as flower vases...

Simple, yet so adorable! All that's needed is hot glue and yarn!

...and lastly, Sports themed bottles!

Party Favors - Thinking Outside the Box!

It may seem a little odd that retailers are already putting out Christmas stuff. Halloween, I understand. That will be here before we know it! I'm already quizzing the kids on what they want to dress up as. I like for us to be original, like the year we made our own Incredibles superhero family outfits. And it seems like once school starts, the holidays all run together. So, you may walk past the Christmas aisle and roll your eyes or think to yourself that it would be ridiculous to entertain the thought of spending money on the holiday this time of year. I'm here to let you know that you can find great favors and decor down those aisles for your events.

Browsing my local Garden Ridge I found potential baby shower and birthday items in the Christmas section from $1-$5. In addition to the items pictured, if you are doing a Candyland theme, there are candy ornaments in a variety of colors!
