11 August 09 - Wine bottle torches - Turn your trash into treasure!

With summer soon approaching, we move our entertaining outdoors to make the most of our balmy summer nights! Surely these evenings would be even more enjoyable if you could get rid of those annoying insects and mosquitos, which impede our nighttime festivities. Citronella burners, tiki torches and candles can be expensive and ineffective, so why don't you turn your empty wine bottles into an environmentally friendly, stylish, sturdy, outdoor insect repelling light? All this requires is a few copper fittings, a bolt, a few nuts and a mounting plate, so the bottle can be mounted to an outdoor wall. Then, you will need a standard torch wick and some citronella oil.
So start collecting those wine bottles, and get your backyard ready for entertaining at a very low cost! Need some wine bottles? Here's an excuse to try some wine from Capel Vale and get your bottle collection started!
