Whoa — now this looks like an Unconsumption-y chandelier.
Fashioned from wine bottles and wine barrel parts.

Happy wine o’clock (somewhere)!
![It’s wine o’clock (somewhere) — which means it’s time to share a wine-related repurposing find.
Today, it’s art — on a large scale — made by Grand Rapids-based illustrator/artist Scott Gundersen, who reuses thousands of corks in each work:
Starting with a large photograph that’s transferred to a drawing, Gundersen pins each cork to the canvas, creating a correlation between the hues of the wine-stained corks and the value of light or shadow in the portrait. His latest work, Trisha [pictured above and below], took 3,621 corks to complete, but other works have required over 9,000.
Check out time-lapse videos of Gundersen’s making of “Trisha” here, and “Grace” (shown in the bottom photo), which took 9,217 corks + 50 hours, here.

Today, it’s wine bottles turned into planters — a great size for small succulents. Wine + reuse + container gardening = win!
The bottle-pots pictured here are from Bewley’s Rerun Productions.

Today: Artwork. Specifically, the work of Tony Feher, mentioned previously here, who shows us that empty bottles and blue marbles make a pretty attractive pairing.

bottle fence - drill hole in each bottle and run a rebar through it. Lovely when the sun hits it. cool idea for my future home… :)
I’m reblogging this photo because I love the idea of creating a bottle-fence. (Remember this garden bottle-wall?)
However, many of you know I’m kind of a stickler for attribution: As a rule, I do not post or reblog photos that don’t link to a source (or don’t credit a maker or photographer). (See previous posts about that here and here.) But, for this fence, because it’s so great, I’m making a rare exception!
That said, do you know the source of this photo? If so, let us know! —Molly of Unconsumption
P.S. For obvious reasons, this post is this week’s Unconsumption wine o’clock wine-related repurposing find. :)
It is wine o’clock (somewhere), y’all. Cheers!
It’s wine o’clock (somewhere) — time to share a wine-related repurposing example.
This week’s find: Corks upcycled into bouquets. (Above-pictured arrangement comes from CherubinoCrafts on Etsy.)

Today’s find is a DIY project: Turn corks into a coaster and trivet set.
What you’ll need:
- natural cork wine stoppers (10-12)
- a sharp knife or other cutting tool
- a needle (regular embroidery style) and thread
For full how-to, see: diy project: abigail’s cork trivet and coaster set | Design*Sponge
Empty bottles + fern fronds = simple, gorgeous tablescapes
Yes, this is a no-brainer example of reuse, but the photo, via Design*Sponge, is just so good, I’m posting it!
Also: It’s wine o’clock somewhere, so there’s that to add for justification for sharing.

Today, it’s a DIY project: Attach corks to the cover of an electric fan, to make a mobile or a lamp.
With the addition of a lamp cord set (mentioned previously here), such a creation could be used as a lighting fixture or “chandelier,” as maker Mox & Fodder says.
For tutorial, see Mox & Fodder’s post here.

Today: Bottle pieces made into jewelry.
