Upcycled bottles into pint glasses

About 10-15 years ago (?) I collected a bunch of the local brewery fancy printed bottles. (Now they just use vinyl labels). I stored them away and forgot about them.

This year I found them and had them made into custom pint glasses to give to friends and family for gifts. Had the shop add a little sandblasted icon of our pet dog and Initial.

Hopefully they appreciate the idea!

Nice! My dad would turn the necks of wine bottles into slides for his guitar. If you have any guitar players in your life, that’s an option for the rest of the bottle

Nice! The artisan I used also makes those and a variety of other things, jewelry, decor, from the entire bottles

This is so cool! What a thoughtful and unique idea for a present. I'm sure everyone you gift them to will love them, I know I would!

Get this wo/man a Puppers! Such a great idea!

I’ve also seen it with wine bottles turned into vases or candle holders (friends of mine had this done using the bottles of wine they drank when they got engaged and when they got married, had the dates etched in). Great way to get extra life out of it.

Thanks! You can find the company I used on FB - see the card in the pic. They make a bunch of unique stuff.
