Now that we've hit December, it is well and truly that time of year. As I type this, the smell of Christmas is wafting through the air, but that might just be the smell of plastic from our newly decorated office tree.
But that's one of the best things about the festive season, isn't it? - the tree. This year, people have opted for a modern twist on an old tradition. Instead of getting a normal tree, people have decided to take matters into their own hands and create a masterpiece themselves... out of empty wine bottles. That's right, empty wine bottles. Imagine that in the corner of your living room!

It's that time of year!
Now that we're officially in December, it is acceptable to start putting Christmas decorations up.There's nothing better than picking out the perfect tree...
It's a time when the whole family gets involved. However, this year, some people have decided to go for a more alternative masterpiece for their homes, as opposed to the usual green pine tree.It may sound a little strange... But I can assure you, it looks amazing!
Some of the more edgier folk have decided to trade in their classic tree for a wine bottle version. That's right, this year is all about the wine. And the best thing about it is that it's the perfect excuse to start drinking early!House Beautiful magazine has given us some good tips on how to construct the perfect "tipsy" tree.
It's a pretty simple process once you get the hang of things. All you need is a bunch of empty wine bottles, tiered bottle drying racks, and twinkly lights. You can also add some baubles if you're feeling up for it."It's time to get building!"
"Place your wine rack where you want your tree to go and wrap the frame in string lights. It’s just like decorating a regular tree, except pine needles aren’t sticking you in the face every time you wrap your lights around.""Now that things are seriously lit..."
"Start stacking your empty bottles, working from the ground up. Once you’ve got your bottles stacked, add one at the top to look like a tree topper. Plug in your lights and pour yourself (another) cup of cheer." Sounds pretty easy, right?Check out some of my favorite boozy masterpieces!
