DIY Wine Bottle Holder

5 Materials
Easy
This is a fun and fairly easy project. Today we're making a DIY wine bottle holder. It's a unique item which would make a great gift for the wine enthusiast in your family. Whether you need a unique birthday or holiday gift, there's nothing better than a handmade, DIY gift! You can even personalize, too!
What you'll need:


- 14" 2x6 board


- Stain


- 24" Twine


- Burlap


- Upholstery tacks


We began by cutting a piece of 2x6 to 14 inches long and sanding it smooth.
Once you've sanded your board, you'll need to drill a couple of holes in one end. These will be where the hanging twine threads through the board.


At the corners of one end of the board, drill small holes, about 1/2 inch from the end and 1/2 inch in from the sides. The holes should be slightly larger than your twine, this way you can feed the twine through the holes without issue.
Next we applied a coat of stain. You can stain it any color you want. Remember, when staining, the longer you leave the stain on before wiping the excess off, the richer and darker your stain will be.
Feed the twine through your drilled holes. The twine should cross the front of the board like seen below.
Measure a piece of 5 inch wide burlap around your wine bottle and cut it accordingly. You want to measure around your wine bottle plus about 9 inches.


Fit and secure the burlap to the board, folding the extra 9 inches of burlap over into two or three layers. Use a heavy duty glue (all purpose construction adhesive) and upholstery tacks to secure the burlap in place.
Your wine bottle holder is coming together nicely!
Next you can use paint or even use your Silhouette machine to add an initial to make it a personalized gift!
