6 Things Ways To Do With Empty Beer Bottles

In recent years, the "alternative" beer market has grown considerably, thanks to the popularization of handcrafted drinks and the arrival of new brands in the country.

One of the main attractions, besides the drink itself, are the bottles with extremely creative or even extremely traditional stamps. If you're from the class who are sorry to get rid of the sacred drink cabin but aren't sure what purpose to give the bottles, check out 6 things you can do with them after tasting your beer:

1 - Salt and pepper shakers

One of the easiest to do: If you have two small bottles, just clean them well, replace the metal caps with plastic caps, and make small holes in them to make them a salt and pepper shakers. Uncomplicated and stylish.

2 - Liquid soap dispenser

OK, few people would have a bottle of beer in the bathroom, but you could be part of a select group that uses one of these bottles as a liquid soap dispenser.

The process isn't the easiest, but it's simple: you need to drill a hole in the middle of a cork, put it in the bottle, fit the pump tube in the original bottle, and you're done!

3 - Decorative vases

This one requires a little more work, but it is very worthwhile if you like plants. You need to cut off the top of the bottle, sand the edges to make them softer, and then put a small piece of net with string that will come out of the mouth of the bottle.

Then just put your little plant inside and use the other part of the bottle as a water tank.

4 - A chalice

For those who can cut bottles without major problems, another alternative use is to make a chalice: just cut it into three parts (one cut in half and one near the bottom), discard the middle part and use silicone to paste the mouth the bottle exactly at the bottom, used upside down. Remember to sand the edges so as not to risk cutting yourself.

5 - A tiki torch

Tiki torches are very cool and widely used as decoration on beaches and more informal environments. For beer lovers, it is perfectly possible and not at all complicated to make a "tiki bottle": simply put citronella oil in one of them, make a small hole in the lid and cut through a piece of cotton wick or twine, leaving a small part of it. out of the bottle.

6 - A lamp

Those who don't like the pyrotechnic part of the tiki torch very much - or simply want something for internal illumination - may turn to another alternative: the lamp. Bottles with cooler stamps are a great option; you just need to know a bit of wire and socket assembly to make sure everything goes well.
