1. Nothing's quite as welcoming as a chandelier made of beer bottles.

But seriously, this is pretty cool, and it creates some pretty sweet lighting.

2. Make your beer bottles classy by turning them into mini vases.

You can make these too!

3. Or, if you're more of a wine person, you can make vases out of those as well.

4. You can (technically) drink wine out of the bottle without losing any class.

Make sure you smooth the edges sufficiently, though.

5. Now you can make the same Corona salt and pepper shakers you frequently see at Mexican restaurants.

I always loved these. Learn how to make them here.

6. An alternative "aqua globe," for when you'll be away from your plants for an extended period of time and you want to help them numb the pain of your absence.

USE WATER, NOT BEER. Just shove the bottle into the soil, and the water will slowly seep out of the bottle and be soaked up by the plant.

7. Make your empty bottles into nifty little glasses–for beer or anything else.

You can make these pretty easily, and you totally should.

8. Use a wine bottle as a lamp.

This is pretty easy to do; just rig up a lightbulb and shove it in an empty wine bottle you've cut the bottom off of.

9. Lucky Buddha beer bottles make awesome tiki torches for your next outdoor gathering.

Though you may want to wait until the weather gets a little warmer.

10. Use empty wine bottles as candle holders.

11. It's always beer o'clock somewhere.

12. A bird feeder for those booze-loving avian specimens.

At $51.66 on Etsy, it may be a little pricey, but can you really put a price on the happiness of those birds you don't really care that much about?

13. Why not use your wine bottles to make a chaise lounge?

Don't sit down too fast though.
