3. Create Beautiful and Colorful Wine Bottle Chandeliers
DIY difficulty: Hard
The upper halves of the bottles are used to create this cool look. Refer to instructions above to half a wine bottle.
Here’s How:
Mod Podge Sheer Colors were used to color the cut wine bottles. Disperse the color all over the inside of the bottle by twirling it around. Place them mouth-side down, to dry.
Repeat this process with as many cut half bottles as you would like. I suggest using a maximum of five.
You may want to ask an experienced electrician to pass the wiring through for electricity. If you are equipped enough to do so yourself, this guide explains exactly what needs to be done, in a safe manner.
4. Make a Festive Light Display
DIY Difficulty: Medium
This DIY wine bottle idea will make for an extraordinary decoration. They’re relatively easy to do and inexpensive to prepare.
Here’s How:
Wash the wine bottles and remove the labels.
For a neat finish, drill (if inexperienced, ask a professional) a hole in the bottle’s side.
Pictured, a 3/4-inch tile bit was done. The hole was then enlarged and smoothed with a conical grinding stone. If you’re unsure on how to safely do this, this video tutorial explains the process pretty well.
Use a 50-light string feed (get the kind with just one plug), passing it through the side holes of the bottles.
The process of drilling the hole should be done with patience. Take your time and do not rush or push too hard as this will cause the neck of the bottle to crack.
