creative lights

Here are some great night lights that i have made for my daughter and some friends. I made them out of wine and crown royal bottles, and no i am not a alcoholic lol allthough some may think so because of all the bottles that i have to make my projects.

It was actually very simple to make these night lights.

things you will need:

1- Of course a glass bottle of any kind

2-A string of 20 lights or more if you need. ( Christmas lights or you can buy some at a

craft store)

3-Ribbon.( I like the wired ribbon, which i usually get from hobby lobby or any craft store.)

4-Hot glue gun and glue

5-Glass frost or spray paint your choice

6-Any design you want. (I make mine with the crickets)

7-Something to make the hole in the glass. (I use a glass drill bit that you can buy at

lowes or home depot.)

8-A creative mind

To start off make sure all the liquid is out and washed off including the label, let dry for a while.

Drill your hole in the back of your bottle where no one will see it when you display it (i put mine on the back closser to the bottom of the bottle). Get your design and lay it out as you want it on the bottle. Then start to apply your design to your bottle but wait if you are wanting to spray paint your bottle with a certain color you need to spray paint the bottle before this step and make sure it is completely dry. Take your string of lights ( colored or white) straigten them out and insert them one by one threw the hole you made in the back of the bottle( in bigger bottles you may need to get some floral wire and wrap around the string of lights so that they don't just fall to the botom of the bottle). Take the glass frost and spray the bottle all around even over your design, let dry completely but if you spray painted your bottle then you don't frost it you will need to get some spray modge poge and spray the bottle and let dry. Take your ribbon of choice and wrap around the bottom of the bottle with your hot glue gun. Take a peice of ribbon that will wrap around the neck of the bottle glue that as well. the final touch, Make your bow big or small your choice again and glue the bow onto the neck of the bottle where you wrapeed the ribbon around and there it is your new creative night light.

I hope you will enjoy this project as i did. My daughter loves hers and i love mine so heres to creative minds. Use your imagination a little and you will be surprised what you come up with.
