Welcome to a creative DIY project that is sure to add a unique touch to your home decor. In this tutorial, we will be exploring an alternative way to recycle wine bottles by creating an upturned version of a candle holder. To bring this project to life, you will need a bottle cutter, a tool designed specifically to cut glass bottles. If you are unfamiliar with bottle cutters, don’t worry. Cathi has written a blog post that provides a comprehensive guide to bottle cutters, which you can find on this website.

Once you have the necessary tools, you can follow the step-by-step instructions in the full tutorial, which is available on the project blog post on Savedbylovecreations.com. This tutorial will guide you through the process of cutting the wine bottle and gluing it back together to create the upturned candle holder.

By recycling a wine bottle and creating a unique candle holder, you not only get to showcase your creativity but also contribute to a sustainable environment. So, let’s get started on this exciting DIY project and give a new lease of life to those empty wine bottles!

Here is a different upturned version of a Recycled Wine Bottle Candle holder. For this tutorial you will need a bottle cutter and you can find out more about them here on this blog post by Cathi.

Try This Fun Bake Off Drawing Challenge with a Group of Kids

My daughter is 16 and one of her favorite things to do on school breaks is watch The Great British Bake Off. It’s such a soothing show, as well as being creative and fun, and it’s low stakes enough that it isn’t stressful, which is just the thing you need when you’re on a break from school. 

If you don’t have an oven or want to do your own real Bake Off challenges, this baking show inspired drawing challenge from Frugal Fun for Boys and Girls is a great alternative. This works best if you have a group of kids to play, but you could also do it along with a child at home. 

The post includes a bunch of different “baking” challenges for kids to draw. As an example: “Draw a dozen delicious doughnuts! Be sure to include at least two different flavors of icing. Challenge yourself to think of as many creative toppings as you can.” 

Give them a set amount of time (maybe 10-15 minutes) to draw their creations based on the prompt. Then have each child present their creation, explaining what they chose to draw and why (and what the different flavors are if it’s not obvious). 

There doesn’t have to be a winner, but kids can vote on their favorites or you can “award” things like most colorful, tallest creation, etc. Sarah suggests if doing this with little kids you can come up with an award for everyone, but there need not be prizes involved. 

With older kids you might do a couple of rounds and pick winners so that you can have a “star baker” just like in the show. 

This is a game that would be a lot of fun for kids of different ages, and you can do it multiple times with the different prompts.
