I think this tree will be very popular because the bottles can be removed and replaced with Flag's for the 4th of July and Memorial Day. For Easter... Plastic Easter eggs can be put on it. For Christmas... it can be wrapped with lights ect. Any more ideas ?

That looks nice GDC. Who gets the pleasure of emptying all those wine bottles?

Pumpkins or ghosts for Halloween and Santas or snowmen for Christmas. Your neighbors will be placing orders for their trees. You may have started something!

And balloons for birthdays. That tree can be decorated in lots of ways. If the tubes can hold water, you could even put cut flowers in there for special occasions.

I am going to build some with PVC (plastic) pipe which is a lot cheaper than copper and easier to put together, that way everyone can have one. Wine bottles will not fit on it but plastic bottles (coke & water) etc. will work fine and it can still be used for all of your great ideas. Thank's for the input and start saving your bottles.
