My aunt used to let all colours of wax drip down the side of a bottle to 'decorate' it, and then use them with dinner candles. They look pretty cool. Glass jars make for good hot cocoa, international coffee mixes, cappuchinos, etc.(all homemade of course) (I do this every year for my daughters teachers)(I have recipes if you'd like:)) Last year I saved (mr. peanut) peanut jars. They looked like 'snowmen' with their Mr. Peanut hat on top of the jar. I painted the inside white, decorated the outside with stickers and things and then filled the inside with all kinds of candy and Christmas treats. Good Luck Merry Christmas Wine bottles make awesome candle holders. My aunt used to let all colours of wax drip down the side of a bottle to ‘decorate’ it, and then use them with dinner candles.

The best part is if you paint them yourself, you can personalize them for whoever you are giving them too. Mine are clear bottle for veg oil and green for olive oil, and they have fish and seaweed scenes on them. Very cute and VERY convenient.

How about washing them thoroughly and then painting poinsettias and or holly leaves over them from the outside? I think glass paint should work for this. Since you have wine bottles, these I am sure would come in a greenish tinge or color. You can put a red velvet bow around the neck of the bottle and put 1 or 2 flowers in it. Artificial flowers too would do. You can decorate your room / house in this way by putting these "vases" around. Or gift them to your friends. Hi.

You could also get mosaic tiles or different colored class beads and attach them to the bottles for really pretty candle holders!
