It's great to find a solution that's truly creative and efficient although the resources are limited. The Wine Bottle Tiki Torch DIY idea is an inexpensive way to recycle those piles of wine bottles. Furthermore, it is an eco-friendly way to keep those mosquitoes at bay allowing you to enjoy the outdoors more.
What you need:
- Empty wine bottles
- A bag of sand
- Bug-repellent torch fuel
- Wick
- Bottle cap or cork
Wash the empty wine bottles thoroughly and let them dry. Once dry, fill up half of the bottle with sand. You may also use pebbles or marbles.
Grab the bug-repellent tiki torch and fill up the bottles up to the neck.
For the wick, you may drill a hole on a cork and insert the rope. However, another effective and easier way is to grab bottle caps and create a hole on the center and insert the rope.
Finally, secure in place the bottle cap or cork on the bottle. Let the wick absorb the fuel and illuminate your tiki torches. The night will surely be fun with these creative DIY wine bottle tiki torches.
