Leftover Champagne, corks, wire cages, bottles — all can be reused! This post links to various recipes using Champagne, and DIY projects for corks, cages, and bottles. [Pictured: hooded wire cages (a.k.a. muselets) from the tops of Champagne bottles made into mini-chairs — good for use as place card holders.]

An easy (and fun) way to reuse old maps is to use them as gift wrap.

A cash-strapped city in Lithuania erected a 13-meter-tall Christmas tree made from 40,000 discarded plastic bottles. Click through to check out how it looks at night -- it glows.

Use empty wine bottles as part of a holiday tabletop display. Tip: Epsom salt makes good-looking “snow.”
