Are you looking for a good way to reuse those old wine bottles of yours that you would otherwise have to throw away? Why not turn them into 'luminous bottles', to create a pleasant atmosphere in your living room or bedroom? Let's see together how to proceed.
Steps
Step 1. Get some empty wine bottles
For this project, 2 or 3 will suffice.
Step 2. Remove the labels from the glass
Step 3. Wash the bottles carefully, both inside and out
Step 4. With a clearly visible marker, mark the exact spot on the bottle where you intend to insert the LED lights
Step 5. Prepare a bucket full of water
You will need it while you are drilling the hole in the bottle.
Step 6. Get a drill
For this project you will need to use a glass-specific diamond cup cutter.
Step 7. Get a piece of soft clay to shape it as a liner where you need to drill the hole
While you are drilling the glass with the drill, run some water over the bur.
Step 8. Drill the hole with extreme caution
Step 9. When finished, use 150-grit sandpaper to smooth out the sharp edges of the hole
Step 10. Wash the bottle again to remove any dirt and glass residue
Step 11. Purchase LED Christmas lights made up of 100 light elements
Step 12. Insert the lights into the bottle
Step 13. This step is optional
Fit a gasket to the bottle hole.
