The tall jar with tall matches can be displayed in the living room, bedroom, or bathroom. It can be displayed with other home decor accents such as candles, lamps, and more.

Our matches in a bottle therefore, make not only a beautiful accent but they are a practical item to have around. We bet you haven’t seen anything like this before! You can even choose from a wide range of bottle or jar styles – from glass jars, to apothecary jars – so you can select the style that appeals to you most.

Take note that these are working matches so keep them away from children’s reach or any hot surfaces.

Message in a Bottle

The message in a bottle craft idea is another brilliant home decor piece that you’ll want to incorporate in your space. You don’t need to be a fan of the movie or the book to appreciate this home decor accent. 

It provides a great finishing touch to a rustic or barn home. There is something so raw and rustic about this particular craft idea. You can choose to hang them from the ceiling or place them on a countertop.

Whimsical Terrariums

This is another brilliant idea that you can utilize empty bottles for and add a gorgeous accent for your home. This one will require a bit more work and a lot more creativity to get done. 

Cut the bottom half of an empty wine bottle (or any bottle of your choice) and then use it to make a tiny terrarium. You can also use a mason jar if that is available. Either way, this is a nice detail that will create a unique touch to your home design.

You can use it as decoration on your coffee table or as a centerpiece for your dining table. 

Christmas Lights in a Bottle

Light fixtures are one of the best ways to transform a space with minimal effort. You can add a touch of whimsy to your home interior when you incorporate the Christmas lights in a bottle decor piece. 

For this one, you’ll need an empty wine bottle (preferably a tall one) and an LED light string. Place the light string inside the bottle and display it wherever you want. When the light is on, it will create a whimsical accent to any space.

The best thing about this decor idea is that you can use it any time of the year, not just for Christmas. And you don’t even have to limit its use in an indoor space – you can definitely use it outdoors if you prefer.

Wind Chime in a Bottle

Want to take your home decorating to the next level? Why not try to make a wind chime with an empty or used bottle? 

You can cut the bottom portion of the bottle and then leave it open. Attach the wind chime to the cap of the bottle and then leave the rest to hang at the bottom. There you go, a wind chime using an empty bottle. Bet that is something you haven’t seen before!

Wine Bottle Tiki Torches

This is an excellent idea if you want to add more oomph to your outdoor space, especially in your entertaining area.

You can even add citronella or use citronella fuel to light your tiki torches. This is great for your outdoor barbecue or when you want to enjoy a lovely dinner by the porch. 

Candies Dispenser

This is another practical use for your used or empty bottles at home – and one that will also add a unique decorative accent. Use any empty bottles to store small items such as candies (like M&Ms or Skittles). 

You can add a label to the bottle and change it up based on what you want to put into the container. It’s fun, decorative, and practical!

Photo Frame in a Bottle

If you’re looking for something unique and creative, you can ditch the traditional wooden photo frame! Perfect as a memorable gift or as a unique accent to your home, using your empty bottle as a photo frame delivers a rustic charm to your space.

For this one, make sure you have a clear glass bottle so that you’ll be able to look through it and see the photos. Feel free to add any decorative details based on your chosen theme. When you’re done, you can add the photo inside the bottle and then seal it with a cork. 

Whether you add it as your home decor or give it as a gift, this is a unique item that will undoubtedly be a conversation starter. 

Empty wine or glass bottles are found in any home. If you’re into recycling, then you can definitely explore these ideas that will make your space more aesthetically appealing. These decorative items are the perfect example that you do not need to spend more in order to transform your home decor and make an impact.
