lifehacker.com: DIY Mood-Lighting Wine Bottle [Decorating]

lifehacker.com posted: Two things that always seem to be in surplus around the holidays are empty wine bottles and strands of Christmas lights. Turn the two into a novel lamp with this simple hack.

You'll need a wine bottle, a short strand of Christmas lights—they used a 50 bulb strand for the bottle pictured above—and some basic shop tools like a a drill with a glass drill bit, masking tape, and safety goggles and gloves.

You drill a hole in the side of the bottle near the bottom and feed your lights in through the hole. Plug it in and you've got yourself a rather novel little bit of mood lighting. Check out the full tutorial at the link below for tips and tricks on drilling glass.

Have a novel holiday decoration or mood lighting idea? Let's hear it in the comments.
