Make a Wine Bottle Holder
Wine bottle holders are useful and unique. They keep a chilled bottle of wine cold for serving during a meal and are pleasing to the eye. Wine bottles look great just displayed on a counter or an entry table in a bottle holder. They also are great gift ideas. Put a bottle of wine in the handcrafted wine bottle holder and the recipient will be very grateful.
Instructions

Lay the corks flat to create the coaster.
Lay the corks flat to create the coaster.
Glue together wine corks of the same size. Lay them flat on a work table to create a cork coaster. Make the coaster two corks in length and five corks wide laid flat on the table. Apply a drop of hot glue between each wherever they touch.

Glue corks together to surround a wine bottle.

Stand a bottle of wine on the cork coaster. The coaster should be bigger than the bottom of the wine bottle. If not, add another row of corks. Center the bottle of wine on the coaster. Stand two corks upright and glue them to the coaster and to each other 1/4 inch away from the bottle. Don't glue them to the bottle. Keep gluing corks upright all the way around the bottom of the bottle. Stack the second row of corks on top of the first row. Glue each one as you go around wherever they touch. Again, add a third row of corks on top of the second row. Hot glue dries quickly, so by the time you get the third row done, it should all be dry. The bottom of the wine bottle is now encased in its holder. Lift the bottle out.

Hot glue clear or colored crystals to the cork, randomly, all the way around the wine bottle holder. Add wine bottle charms also. Embellish the wine bottle holder as you wish.
