1. Bottle Toppers

Bottle Toppers Wine is already a very cheerful creation but with an added trophy topper, you will make the beverage even more amazing. To upcycle trophies this way, you will need the top parts of the trophy and corks. You will also need a drill to make a hole on your cork tops so that you will be able to attach the trophy parts.

4. Paper Maché Vase

Paper Maché Vase This idea is basically similar to the previous DIY I mentioned here but instead of displaying the tarnished trophy cup in all its vintage glory, you will be covering it with pretty paper. You can do this if the trophy cup is not tarnished or vintage-y enough. This is also useful if you can only find plastic trophies.
