# Upcycled Beer Bottles Bootlehood Glassware Makes Neat Items from Old Brew Bottles By Robyn Currie | Published 2010-01-29 | Eco Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bottlehood-glassware References: [neatorama](http://www.neatorama.com/2010/01/28/bottlehood-tumblers-made-from-used-beer-bottles/) & [bottlehood](http://bottlehood.com/HOME.html) Using found [beer, wine and liquor bottles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/collectible-spirits-bottle), Bottlehood Glassware transforms them into completely usable [drinking glasses, vases, and candle holders](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/awaz-glasses). Not to mention they also put some zany decals on each of their items. I used to drink, I used to love it, and I used to drink a lot of it. And it was with such pride that I would return to [empties to the nearest Beer Store](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/moosehead-breweries), and get my money back. But looking back, I probably would have appreciated a piece of Bottlehood Glassware just as much. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.7/10 - Popularity: 39% | Activity: 63% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 90% men, 10% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Eco](https://www.trendhunter.com/eco) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Upcycling:** Opportunities for turning waste materials into new and usable products. - **Sustainable Design:** Innovations in creating eco-friendly products from recycled materials. - **Customization:** Personalized designs and decals on repurposed items. ### Where This Applies - **Eco-friendly Home Decor:** Creating and selling sustainable home products made from upcycled materials. - **Drinkware Manufacturing:** Producing drinking glasses and vases using repurposed bottles. - **Gift and Novelty Products:** Offering unique and customizable items made from recycled materials as gifts and souvenirs. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Recycled Gin Bottles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/recycled-gin-bottle.md) - [Sustainable Upcycled Glass Cups](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hmm-design.md) - [Conceptual Craft Beer Bottles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sour-glass.md) - [Urban Bottle Sustainable Initiatives](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fields-green-with-grass-not-glass.md) - [Upcycled Beer-Made Vodkas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bad-beer-vodka.md) - [Bread Surplus-Created Beers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/upcycling-food-trend.md) - [Upcycled Grape Distilleries](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/re-find.md) - [DIY Whisky Bottles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/diy-whisky-bottle.md) - [Reusable Aperitif Bottles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ghia.md)
