How to make a Bottle Lamp!

Ever seen cool lamps made from bottles? You might have wondered how to do it yourself. Well, it's easier than you think!

Instructions:
1. Pick the bottle you want to use (This is half the fun). I prefer Jack bottles because they have a unique look and are quite fun to empty.

2. Get your materials together.
a. Pieces of an old lamp, or a lamp kit like this: http://goo.gl/br0p4
b. Glass drilling bits. You can buy at the store or order online here: http://goo.gl/RlIY1
c. Empty Bottle

3. Clean out the inside of the bottle and remove all traces of alcohol.

4. Drill a hole in the bottom and feed the wiring through the bottle.

5. Hook up the lamp housing and place it into the bottle.

6. Add a light bulb and shade and fire it up!

Try putting a piece of masking tape where you want to do the hole to keep it from traveling, and turn the speed down a bit to keep the vibrations from the bit to a minimum.
