DIY: Wine Bottle Light.

by on Dec 7, 2009

wine bottle light

With string lights readily available everywhere from 6-week only holiday emporiums to the corner gas station, grab a few to create this deceptively simple but elegant wine bottle light. The trick lies in the technology – a 1/2″ drill bit made for drilling into glass, and, of course, the proper safety gear, just in case.

From Wit and Whistle:

“This past spring Daniel and I went on a road trip from San Francisco to the Grand Canyon. Along the way we stopped at Chateau Julien for a wine tasting. I wanted to do something with the empty bottle instead of throwing it in the recycling bin. So here it is!”

  1. I’ve drilled glass blocks to string lights in them.  I pour anti-freeze on the drill bit while I work.  I’m going to try drilling the wine bottles this year.

     I’ve done them from the top, binding the light cord to the top of the bottle with raffia.  When it comes to selling them…mine are for charity fundraisers only, I think the drilled ones justify a higher price due to the difficulty level.
