Wine has long been associated with celebrations and fine dining, but have you ever thought about what happens to the packaging once the bottle is empty? More specifically, what can be done with those seemingly useless cardboard wine cubis? With a little creativity and a few simple steps, you can transform the cardboard from wine cubis into unique and stylish necklaces.

1. Gather your materials:
To get started, you will need a few items. First, collect some empty wine cubis. These are the boxes that wine bottles often come in, made primarily of cardboard. You’ll also need a ruler, scissors, a hole punch, decorative papers or fabric, adhesive, and a necklace chain or cord.

2. Prepare the cardboard:
Flatten the wine cubis and cut out a rectangular shape from the cardboard. The size of the rectangle will depend on the desired size of your necklace pendant. Use a ruler to make straight and even cuts for the best results.

3. Create your design:
Now it’s time to unleash your creativity. Choose decorative papers or fabric that complements your style and cut them into shapes or patterns that can be adhered to the cardboard. Consider using a variety of textures, colors, and designs to make your necklace unique.

4. Attach the decorative elements:
Apply adhesive to the back of your chosen decorative pieces and carefully press them onto the cardboard pendant. Be sure to smooth out any air bubbles or wrinkles for a clean finish. Allow the adhesive to dry thoroughly.

5. Reinforce and protect the pendant:
To ensure the longevity of your necklace, consider applying a layer of clear adhesive or decoupage medium over the top of the decorative elements. This step will help protect the design from wear and tear, as well as provide a glossy finish.

6. Create a hole for the necklace chain:
Using a hole punch, create a hole at the top of the pendant. This will serve as the attachment point for the necklace chain or cord. Make sure the hole is large enough to accommodate your chosen necklace materials.

7. Attach the necklace chain or cord:
Thread the necklace chain or cord through the hole and secure it with a knot or a jump ring. You can choose a delicate chain for a feminine look or opt for a more rustic cord for an earthy vibe. Consider your personal style and the design of your pendant when selecting the necklace material.

8. Finishing touches:
Finally, ensure that your necklace is comfortable to wear by trimming any excess cardboard and sanding the edges if necessary. Check that the pendant is securely attached to the chain or cord, and make any adjustments if needed.

Congratulations! You have successfully transformed what was once wine cubis into a fashionable and eco-friendly necklace. Whether you wear it yourself or give it as a thoughtful gift, this upcycled accessory serves as a reminder of the creative possibilities that lie within everyday items that are often overlooked. So next time you enjoy a bottle of wine, don’t forget to save the cubi and let your imagination run wild!
