Lighted
Wine Bottles
Designs and Instructions by Marlene Watson
 A lighted wine bottle makes a unique gift and is a beautiful night light for any time of the year.
You can leave the label on if the bottle was for a special occasion and write the date on the label or remove the label and apply
Rub On Transfers as I have done on these bottles. |
Materials Needed:
Wine bottle, washed
Drill or drill press with 1/4” carbide bit
Duct tape and electricians tape
WD40
Miniature light string with 50 lights
Wire cutter, wire stripper, twist wire caps
Chartpak Rub On Transfers.
(The ones I used: Sno Friends #CSL071 - Sea of Fish # CS145)
Here's How:
1. Wash wine bottle and remove label. Place a piece of duct tape on the area to be drilled.
2. Drill slowly and spray the area you are drilling with WD40 to keep bottle from shattering. Rinse bottle to remove any glass particles.
3. Cut wire off light string about 3” from light closest to plug. Insert end off wire with plug through drilled hole and out top of bottle.
4. Strip cord from ends of wire about 1” and also from ends of wire with lights. Twist wires back together again and screw a twist wire cap on the wires to firmly secure and make connection.
5. Stuff the lights into the bottle. You may need to use a dowel stick to distribute the lights evenly into the bottle.
6. Apply Rub On Transfers of your choice to decorate the bottle.
