That old timber you are going to through into the skip bin hang on to it. Same goes for those small thin bottles you are throwing into your recycling bin. This simple upcycling idea makes a rustic centre piece for your dining table.

Minimal skills required to make this fantastic wood and glass idea. The picture really shows what you have to do to achieve the end result. Sand the timber and give it a clear coat of varnish, or if the timber is not the best looking then a coat of enamel paint will come up well.

The picture shows some nice tulips sitting in the glass vases. Timber and wood are great products that go well together to form a natural appearance. A really cheap alternative to buying something like this in one of those trendy shops. Thanks to Shanty 2 Chic for the idea.
