The wine bottles you use can be different shapes, and sizes, but try to choose bottles that have distinctive, fun labels. You can choose to keep the labels on bottles, or you can remove the labels. Wash your bottles thoroughly with hot, soapy water and allow the bottles to dry completely. The hot, soapy water might cause the labels to peel off from the bottles. You can leave the labels on the bottles if you prefer, or peel them off for a sleeker look. If you decide to take the labels off the bottles, make sure to remove the label glue with some adhesive eliminating spray. While you wait for the wine bottles to dry, build a base (jig) where you can place the bottle, and hold it steady while you drill. Use a 2x8 piece of wood, and lay it lengthwise on a flat surface. Screw in a 12 inch (30.5cm) piece of wood about a quarter of the way from the edge of the 2x8. This piece of wood is going to be used as a parting stop. Lay a bottle on the 2x8 piece of wood against the first piece of parting stop, and place another parting stop on the other side of the bottle. Hold that parting stop in place and take away the bottle. Then scoot the parting stop in a little bit closer to the already attached parting stop. Drill the second piece of parting stop like you did the first piece. The idea behind the jig is to hold the bottle securely, so it doesn't roll away as you're drilling into it. Drill a hold in the center of the jig base to hold the bottle stopper. You want your hole to be able 1.25 inches deep. To get the right drill hole, consider using the Forstner drill bit. You want the hole to be deep tight enough so the stopper stays still as you drill it, but loose enough so you can easily remove the bottle stopper. This stopper will be used later to keep the string of lights secured in the bottle. Insert the stopper into the hole in the middle of the jig. Attach the 5/16 inch drill bit into the drill. Center the bit on the stopper, turn on the drill press, and drill through the stopper. You want to drill a hole completely through the stopper. When you are finished drilling, you will most likely have to twist off the stopper from the drill bit. Don't try to drill the stopper without the jig holding it in place. You will most definitely hurt yourself trying to drill it by holding it with your hands. Pull the stopper from the jig, and use a box knife to slice the stopper from the top of the hole to the bottom, with the point of the knife right inside the stopper hole. The cut makes sure that once we are ready to secure the cord of lights, the lights can slide in the opening and be tightly secured by the stopper.

One of the first methods to managing and decreasing hunger during work hours is making sure that you eat regular and consistent meals. Skipping meals or waiting too long between meals may increase your hunger. Studies have shown that regular and consistent meal consumption in addition to a small snack daily lead to decreased hunger throughout the day. It's important to eat a minimum of 3 meals daily. However, depending on your schedule and office hours, you may need to eat more meals or include a few snacks during the day. Do not skip meals and do not leave more than 4-5 hours of time in between meals without having a planned snack. One of the best foods to fight hunger during your work day is protein. Always include a source of protein at each meal and snack. Many studies have showed that higher protein diets and higher protein meals keep you feeling more satisfied during your actual meal and for many hours after you're done eating. Including a source of protein at each meal and snack can help spread out this hunger-fighting nutrient throughout your entire day. Plan to include 1 or 2 servings (about 3-4 oz) of protein at each meal. If you're concerned about calories or watching your waistline, go for leaner sources of protein which are naturally lower in calories and fat. Try: poultry, eggs, low-fat dairy, lean beef, seafood or legumes. Another important nutrient that can help keep hunger at bay while you're at the office is fiber. Make each of your meals full of fiber to help manage your appetite. Studies have shown that those people with higher fiber diets are more satisfied during the day and tend to eat less overall. Fiber provides physical bulk to meals and takes longer to digest. Women should aim for 25 grams of fiber daily and men should plan on getting about 38 grams daily. Include one or two high fiber foods at each meal and snack. This will help you meet your daily goal but also keep this filling nutrient spread out during the day. Foods that are high in fiber include: fruits, vegetables, starchy vegetables and whole grains. Meals and snacks that are high in protein and fiber include: Greek yogurt with nuts and fruit, whole grain wrap filled with lean deli meat and cheese with a small fruit salad, a large spinach salad with raw vegetables and grilled salmon or whole wheat pasta tossed with grilled chicken and steamed vegetables. Another neat trick to manage hunger throughout the day is by drinking enough water. If you typically feel hungry frequently or have difficulty managing your appetite, water may be the answer. If you're not getting enough fluids daily or are even just mildly dehydrated, your brain and body may interpret "thirst" as feelings of hunger. You may feel hungry and feel like you need to snack or eat more, when you just need more fluids. To ensure you're not making this mistake, make sure you're drinking adequate fluids each day. Aim for at least 8 glasses, but even up to 13 glasses daily. Also stick to calorie-free, decaf beverages. These are the best. Try: water, flavored water, sparkling water, decaf coffee and tea.
