Lighted Wine Bottles

by Karen & Jim
(Mohrsville, PA)

We recycle wine bottles and light them up! Most of our lighted wine bottles are done for major sports teams but we also decorate and light them up for the season or holiday as well.

Using a special drill bit and lots and lots of water, we drill holes in the bottom of the glass wine bottle through which we feed the small strings of lights. Then we place a rubber grommet in the hole to keep the lights in and make the hole more pleasing to the eye.

We make our own decals for the bottles or we buy them from craft supply stores.

We also do the same process with old mason jars, adding a little touch to the top using some decorative fabric that we cut out and add to the top of the mason jar.

It's a fun project working with wine bottles and mason jars to light them up and we get a lot of compliments on the designs at local craft shows.
