DIY Bottle Lamp
DIY Bottle Lamp
By: Katie Neely
This weeks craft project is a speedy and simple craft that can light up your life and also add to your home decor.
What you will need:
- Bottle (wine, hard alcohol bottle, etc.)
- Single strand of 50 lights (no connector for additional strands)-I found these at Big Lots for $1.25 after Christmas. You can also find them year round at Craft Warehouse.
- Electric Drill
- Diamond head drill bit for glass and tile
Take your electric drill and diamond drill bit and start drilling in the desired location on the bottle. I prefer to drill towards the bottom. Drilling will take some time, so be patient. Continue drilling until your lights will fit through the hole.

Feed each bulb through the hole, and plug in your new lamp!
Finally something to do with my dead soldiers. Thanks for the tip. 🙂
If you try it out, post a photo! Would love to see 😀
