Decorating a lamp from a bottle

You can make a lamp from a bottle with your own hands, which harmoniously fits into the interior on the balcony or loggia and will not interfere with admiring the patio.

For work we need the following items:

• Empty bottle of glass.
• Propane burner with a thin tip.
• Glass Cutter.
• Protective clothing and goggles.
• Sandpaper.
• Liquid adhesive, designed specifically for decoration.
• Decorative glass pebbles.
• Light bulb with long wiring and switch.
• Screwdriver.
• The chop of wood.
• Small wire or rope.

To make such a lamp is not so difficult. Below, a master class on making a table lamp from a bottle with your own hands will be described:

• Get rid of the labels on the bottle and rinse it well both outside and inside.
• Give her time to dry.
• Carefully cut the line through which the cut will go. The main thing here is not to hurry up and make sure that the lines are closed, otherwise - a smooth cut will not work.

Important! Before this procedure, it is better to practice to cut other glass bottles, since this occupation is not considered easy.

• Take the burner and heat the glass in place of the cut line, slowly rotating the bottle. After some time, it will split on this very line.

Important! The glass can also be cut in another way: after you have made a glass cutter line, put the bottle in a container of cold water to the intended line, then pour boiling water into the container. Soon, the glass will split evenly.

• Sand the cutting line with sandpaper or with a grinding bar.
• Apply a drop of glue to the decor on the edge of the bottle, then put a glass pebble on it and press it firmly onto it. Next, you need to paste the rest of the pebbles in a circle.
• Leave the product to dry for 24 hours.
• Take a small powerful light bulb, study its structure, in order not to damage the structure in the future.
• Disassemble it, then take out the postings.
• Pass it through the neck, then assemble the structure back.
• Fit the cooked chop to the size of the neck in such a way that it does not squeeze the wires. After that, the wooden chop should be painted white.
• Insert it into the neck, pressing down the wire to fix the bulb.
• Take the lamp wire and tie it in a loop - this is necessary in order to hang the device where you need it.
