If your father loves champagne, you can prepare a case that can not only contain the bottle but also serve as a decoration piece for the living room. You just have to cut thin slices from a sheet of plywood for the side pillars, a flat sheet to support the bottle from behind and nail them up. The next step is to paste old pictures of you and your dad, for
instance on your first birthday, the first time he taught you to ride you a bicycle, the first time you gifted him a cell phone and his expression on receiving it. You could also attach vintage paraphernalia such as an old badge that he used to wear during football matches, or sample sports shoes that he had got from his travels abroad. Once the champagne bottle is removed from the case, these pieces will no longer be furtive, making the case an antique piece you would proudly display.

Now get a circular lamp cover. You can also stitch one up for it. You can also light them and for a never-before-seen lighting ambience in your hall. Imagine doing a ball dance in such an ambience!
