You need to start with cleaning your wine bottles. All you need to do is soak the bottles of choice in some warm water with a little soap or even oxy-clean. This will make sure the wine is all cleaned out of the inside and it will make the labels slide off. After they are all clean, be sure to let them dry very well. I would even suggest leaving them out to dry over night.
Now you can get prepared to drill your wine bottles. Be sure you have the right drill bit to cut through glass, such as a diamond bit. You also want to be sure that you have something like a jig that will keep your bottle perfectly still for the drilling process. After you have all your supplies you can start drilling. Measure your hole and add a little WD-40 for lubricant. Then you can drill away.
Now that you have drilled your hole, you can add your LED or incandescent craft lights. Be sure that you have light sets that only have one male plug. Then you just fish the lights up through the hole that you drilled.
Your choice of lights depends on personal preference and the occasion that you are making your wine bottle lamp for. You can pick from a wide selection of colors and spacing as well as green and white wire colors.
And the last step is decorating your wine bottle light. You can paint them, add grapes and ivy and so much more. the The possibilities are endless. Get creative and have fun!
