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!

50 lights will probably be too many for a regular sized wine bottle.

I could only find 50 light strands. Is that too many

You will need a glass/ceramic drill bit.

I line my drill hole w electrical tape so the glass doesn’t cut the my strand of lights as I feed them through plus it protects your fingers as well. :)

Finding this post has saved me a ton of money this Christmas.

I have cleared out a load of redundant Christmas light sets and sent these out as gifts before Christmas so that people could really benefit from them.

The feedback I received was amazing, they all loved them.

Saved me money and helped clear my loft, thanks very much..

Your idea is very simple but looks fantastic!

Do I need to purchase a glass drill bit or will another do the job?
