Wine Bottle Turned Into A Lamp

When you need to purchase a brand new decorative lamp, going to the store and buy the expensive lamp is not a good idea. Instead, find a wine bottle in your home and make a highly decorative and completely functional lamp. The best thing is when you make the wine bottle lamp in an amazing theme or color, and then your love ones will never guess that you made that fantastic lamp. A huge jug style bottle is the best for this project. Else, have a clear wine bottle to make this decorative and functional wine bottle lamp. Also you will prepare a lampshade, and a bottle adapter lamp kit. Bottle adapter lamp kits are purchasable in many craft stores and hardware stores.

Optionally you can add small items of interest to the jar such as marbles, colorful candy, buttons, beads, coins, polished stones, layers of colored sand, or anything else that sparks your interest. You can also fill a wine bottle lamp with silk flowers, shells, shredded colored paper, faux gems, or aquarium gravel. Use your imagination to create a wine bottle lamp to match a specific theme or design. The options are virtually endless.

You must drill a hole in the glass which the cord of the bottle adapter lamp kit attached to the socket so that it will not protrude from the top of the lamp. In hiding the cord carefully drill an opening near the base of the bottle by using a carbon-tipped glass bit. Though, hiding the cord isn’t necessary to make a fascinating lamp for the cord attached to the bottom of the bottles lamp is visually attractive enough than a cord coming out of a socket.

You can find a cork in your bottle adapter lamp kit which is to cover the opening of the wine bottle. Bottles in different sizes are also applicable to the most bottle adapter lamp kits. Spindle, washers, knurled nuts, a harp cradle, a socket base, a socket cover, and together with a cord are available inside your kit. First, assemble your bottle adapter lamp kit. Get the spindle and insert it into the cork, and put the washers and nuts on both ends. And onto the opening of the wine bottle insert the cork then twist it securely.

Second, join the spindle to the harp cradle, and then the socket base must be screwed on. Use the stripping tool to trim the ends of the cord and connect it into the base socket. While on the socket connectors the stripped ends are connected, and before anything else make it sure that you wrap then in a clockwise direction then screw it. You may consult the directions attached on your kit for more details. The last step is by removing the finial on the harp, and replaces it with a lampshade of your own choice above the spindle. Get the finial back to its place and screw it, put the light bulb, and the wine bottle lamp is waiting to shine.
