How to make a lamp from a bottle of wine with your own hands
We all like beautiful lights. This is a great option to transform the interior of almost any room. And what is most interesting, such unusual decor items can be done with your own hands. For example, you can use old bottles of wine and turn them into lamps, adding a magical mood to your living room or bedroom.
1. We select the working material
Collect all the empty wine bottles that you have and choose 2 or 3 of them the same. Of course, you can take different ones, but from the same you get an integral composition.
2. Remove labels
Labels must be carefully removed from each bottle, if this process is difficult, you can use a sponge and warm water.
3. Washing the bottle
Bottles must be thoroughly washed both externally and internally. And then dry well.
4. We mark the place for wires
On the bottle, it is necessary to mark the place where the wires will come out. It is preferable to choose for this a side wall near the bottom. It will look much neater and more aesthetic.
5. Prepare water
In order to make a hole in a glass bottle, you will need water, so prepare it in advance.
6. Power tool
Prepare and connect the power tool with which you will drill a hole in the bottle. For such delicate work you will need a drill with a diamond crown.
7. We use clay
We form a clay cake and put it on the mark where we will drill. During the drilling process, it will be necessary to occasionally slowly and gently add water to the hole. This is necessary so that the drill and the bottle itself do not overheat.
8. Finished drilling
Drill slowly and carefully. After the drilling process is completed, remove the clay and clean the bottle.
9. Use sandpaper
So that the hole obtained is smooth and it is impossible to hurt yourself, you need to clean it with sandpaper, grain size 150 mm.
10. Re-cleaning the bottle
After processing the hole with sandpaper, we clean the bottle again.
11. LED lights or garlands
We prepare LED lights or garlands. A composition of two bottles with one-color lights and one with multi-colored looks very beautiful. But it all depends on your taste and preference.
12. Insert the lights
Pull garlands into the resulting hole so that the wires for connection remain outside.
13. Gasket in the opening of the bottle
It is optimal, although not necessary, to insert a rubber gasket into the drilled hole in the bottle. This will protect against accidental injuries associated with the edges of the hole. In addition, the hole will take on a completely honorable appearance.
14. Fasten the wires
After installing the gasket (optional, of course), you must carefully secure the wires.
15. Connect
The final step will be to connect a new lamp to the outlet. We turn on and enjoy the beautiful sight that envelops not only the room, but also our soul with a pleasant enchanting light.
16. Done
If you wish, you can complement the composition with a candle. And you can decorate the neck of the bottle - lamps with ribbons or strings. Imagine and decorate, everything is in your hands.
