How to Upcycle Your Pickering's Gin bottles

Wondering what you should do with your empty Pickering's Gin bottles? We love seeing how creative our community gets with reusing our distinctive bottles. Whether you’re a seasoned up-cycler or just looking for a fun DIY project, there are so many ways to breathe new life into your empty Pickering's Gin bottles. From candle holders to terrariums, here are some of our favourite ways to repurpose them and add a touch of charm and sustainability to your space.

Candle holder

As you can see from the photo above, this particular Pickering's Gin bottle has been reused as a candle holder multiple times, with a rightful home in The Royal Dick Pub next door to our distillery. With the weather getting colder this is the perfect opportunity for you to add some mood lighting to your home or level up your dinner party decor. Our bottle openings are big enough to fit most candles across all of our bottles.

Lamp

Someone from our team found this at a local market and we loved the idea! You can watch a tutorial here on how you can create one yourself. If you're not feeling particularly crafty, an alternative would be to add some fairy lights inside the bottle. 

Vase

A great way to add a unique, stylish touch to your home decor. Our bottles are perfect for holding fresh flowers or dried arrangements. All you need to do is give the bottle a good clean, fill it with water, and add your favourite blooms. You could match the flowers to the colour and style of our bottles. 

Terrarium

Possible one of the most unique ways we've seen our bottle reused is as a terrarium! You can follow this step by step guide, and add a touch of nature into your home or office space. 

There are endless possibilities for repurposing your Pickering’s Gin bottles. These simple projects not only reduce waste but also add a unique, personal touch to your home decor. We hope you feel inspired to try out some of these ideas yourself! And if you do, we’d love to see your creations—tag us on social media using the #PickGin to share how you’ve given our bottles a second life.
