(Decanter) - Last Christmas saw a trend for wine bottle Christmas trees on social media, but nothing came close to an entire house.

The house in Russia is made from 12,000 Champagne bottles.

Eldar Ilchibayev and his father spent two years collecting them from recycling centres, and neighbours also donated their empty bottles to help them, according to an Associated Press / ITV News report.

The frame of the house is made of timber beams, and concrete is filled between the bottles to keep them in place.
