8. Repurposed Wine Bottle Tiki Torches

For a dramatic and bug-repelling outdoor lantern, repurposed wine bottles serve as excellent vessels for tiki-style flames. These are great for placing along the perimeter of a patio or garden.

How to Make

Clean and remove the labels from heavy-duty glass wine bottles. Fill the bottom third with decorative river stones to provide weight and stability. Insert a tiki torch replacement wick and holder kit into the bottle neck, ensuring it is secure. Fill the remaining space with citronella torch fuel. You can build a small wooden stand or a wall-mount bracket to keep the bottles upright and safe.

Things Needed

  • Heavy-duty glass wine bottles
  • River stones
  • Tiki torch replacement wick/holder kits
