How to make Bottle Lights *DIY Wine Bottle Light*

[rosiescan]

thanks for the info! what are the specific drill bits used for this? i know you said it was 3 different types but what are they and where can i get them?

@rosiescan I bought mine at Ace Hardware, they are specific glass cutting drill bits by Vermont American. The guys at Ace are very good at finding the right tools.

Bottles and lights. Thats crazy man. You got a bunch of bottles just sitting there all lit up. Thats just crazy.

I'm glad you stopped by. As an added bonus they are all available for sale! Interested?

you should really do that underwater.all that glass dust can give you silicosis

@tiehotShowcase

I suppose if you were to do more than one of these for an extended period of time this should be taken in to consideration. There is a clay like substance that allows you to keep water contained over the area that you're about to drill in.

Thanks for the feed back.

Were do you get the crystal fill. ? Is it known under another name ? searching doesn't bring anything up that that appears to be the right stuff. Thanks

Try save-on-crafts website and look for Colorfill "Diamond" Vase Filler

JoAnn Fabrics also sells it in their floral section.

What size is the largest drill bit u use ? Is 1/2 big enough or bigger needed ? Thanks.

@freebird1963

The largest drill bit I have is the 1/2. In the video I didn't go all the way through with it though. Just make the hole big enough to allow the lights to go in.

[freebird1963]

Is a electric drill needed or will a cordless 18v one work ?

Thanks

@freebird1963

I tried my cordless drill and it didn't have enough power to do the job. It would have been easier to regulate the speed but it just couldn't go the distance.

maxi1049,

Anywhere from 30 to 50 depending on the size of the bottle.

[maxi1049]

by the way, how many lights on your strands???

[maxi1049]

very helpful, thanks!! I do have the diamond drill bits, got the wrong ones I guess but they told me at the hardware store they were to cut class!

[jagerfoods]

Thank you Dresta123... the white lights keep it simple and classy.

[jagerfoods]

No, I never used oil, when using a hand drill I go very slowly plus the combination of multiple drill bits prevents heat build up.

[just2leavemessage]

These are just beautiful. I do stained glass and NEED oil when I cut. No oil needed on this?

[DRESTA12345678910]

i'm definitely a fan of the simple "white light" ones

[mnbvcxzzful]

Thanks so much, have been trying to find a video that shows how to do this in step by step instructions. So excited to try, they are beautiful!
