It’s wine o’clock (somewhere) — which means it’s time to share a wine-related repurposing find:

Empty wine bottles made into bird feeders.

It’s wine o’clock (somewhere!) — which means it’s time to share a wine-related repurposing find …

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.

walkingtothesoundofyourfeet:

I need your advice. Is this a really adorable, enviable gift that I really should give to my friend for her birthday? Or is it really flawed and tacky and corny and liable to fall into bits? I can’t tell.

This is where my inspiration came from. She did it much more brilliantly. She, at least, didn’t have to make her interior. :)
