Wouldn’t it be a lot easier to just cut the bottom off the bottle and stuff the light strand up into it istead of drilling a hole for 30 minutes?

I use a Diamond tile & glass drill bit. Goes through the bottle less then a minute. I stop every and wet the drill bit often. You must keep it wet.

I visited a home recently on a farm and the lady had taken a wine bottle with a cork and just put the lights in the bottle and secured the end of the lights through the top of the bottle and just plugged it in the electrical socket. This way you can change out the lights for different holidays. She had hers as a night light in her bathroom.

They look really cute with little lamp shades on them.

Love this!
My friend made one of these for me & she put a floral decal on the bottle, too! So pretty!

You can also cut off the plug on the one end and tape off the wires with electrical tape. If wire for the lights are green you can cover the black electrical tape with floral tape to make it green. If they’re white you can cover the electrical tape with first aid adhestive tape. The lights will work just fine this way.

I used a 1/2″ diamond core bit that I got at the local hardware store. Take modeling clay and make a well where you want to drill the hole and fill with some water. Plunge and drill with short strokes for a clean cut. It only takes about 5 minutes with the core bit. 50 – 75 LED lights work Awesome!! You can also frost the wine bottle or use glass bathroom blocks for some extra WOW!!

What a great idea for patio, deck screen porch lighting this summer. I received several blue bottles over the holiday season and imagine that when combined with green and brown bottles they will look gorgeous!
