Once you opened the wine bottle, save the corks for later and create a cool lamp by reusing the wine bottle and attaching a LED light to the cork. Use a rechargeable LED light so you can use it for a longer period and once attached to the cork, place the light inside the clean wine bottle. Your new DIY lamp will have a very soft and pleasant light that will set a relaxing mood in your room. This is also a great idea for those who are opening a bar or restaurant and looking for decorations that will bring style and personality to the place.
