Ingenious Ways To Recycle Wine Bottles
Wait! Don’t throw away that used wine bottle. Just close your eyes, open your mind, and envision all of the new ways you can repurpose that bottle. Instead of contributing to the landfill, or even sending the bottle to your local recycling center, there are many types of recycled bottle art that can add beauty and functionality to your home and property.
Did you know that glass does not break down in the elements? It can survive in a landfill for, well, we don’t really know…maybe thousands of years. Made from silica, same as sand, a glass bottle is much like a rock. In fact there is a 1,685 year old wine bottle in the History Museum of the Pfalz, in Speyer, Germany that dates back to 325 A.D. (It still contains wine, though you probably wouldn’t want to drink it.)
All over the world people have been finding ways to upcycle glass bottles for thousands of years. At times for architectural and decorative interest and sometimes from necessity, beer and wine bottle art has been incorporated into everything from actually building homes to making houseplant watering systems.
Intriguing Examples of Recycled Bottle Art
Here are just a few examples of creative recycling found in a quick search:
* A beautiful Thai temple built from over a million beer bottles.
* Beautiful outdoor grills using wine bottles.
* Photos of houses from the early 1900s in the old American west made from beer bottles (not so much for the purpose of recycling, but because lumber and other building materials were hard to come by in that area.)
* Even a Christmas tree made from green bottles stacked in circular layers
Artistic Recycling on a Simpler Scale
* Hummingbird feeders
* Wine bottle cheese trays (flattened wine bottles used as appetizer trays or spoon rests) These can even be custom etched for special occasions!
* Plant watering globes (insert a water filled wine bottle upside down into a plant watering stake)
* Wine chimes (lovely wind chimes made from cross slices of a bottle)
* Necklaces, earrings, and other jewelry
* Sculpture and decorative pieces for the home
* Lamps of many descriptions
Make up your mind today to keep your empty bottles out of the landfill. Whether you decide to send them to your local recycling facility, collect them to build your next home, or use them for wine bottle art pieces you can know that your old bottle is realizing its full potential and not laying around aimlessly taking up space in the dump for the next thousand or more years.

Will letting your baby have a bottle in bed at night cause ear infections?
My nephew gets a bottle 3 or 4 times a night. A train comes by and wakes him up. She gives him a bottle to get him back to sleep. Will drinking that much at night cause ear infections? It seems like he has had a lot of infections since he moved to the new house.
Having feedings during the night won't cause ear infections. Having feedings while the baby is laying down may. The liquid can potentially leak down into his ears. It's also not the best idea because when most babies are given a bottle to fall asleep with they tend to let the milk pool up in their mouth when they fall asleep. This is how "bottle rot" happens.
