Materials Needed:
- Bottle of Your Choice
- Bottle Lamp Kit
- Lamp Harp (If you’re doing a lampshade on the bottle lamp.)
Steps
Step 1
Get your stuff together. Remember that awesome old wine bottle I bought at the Insyde Outsyde shop back in September?
Pottery Barn sells these bottles for a ridiculous amount of $$$, but luckily I found a great deal on one. I decided to turn it into a lamp!
Step 2
Follow the instructions on the bottle lamp kit.
The lamp kit is way easy to do. You’ll select the best size plug to go into your bottle top. An Xacto knife may be helpful to trim the plug if it’s a little too big. You’d rather it be too big than too small though.
Once you find the correct size plug, you’ll attach the socket and wire as the directions say.
I also ran a bead of super glue around where the plug goes into the bottle to keep it nice and securely in there.
Step 3
Top it with a shade!
I had a lampshade I’d found at a thrift store that I covered with burlap to work nicely with my lamp. I also added a ribbon detail along the edge.
Finally, I had my very own DIY bottle lamp.
