Decorating a home is a complex and responsible task that you can handle on your own. The peculiarity lies in the fact that some interior items can be created with your own hands. So, lamps are integral interior items that are used to illuminate the room as a whole or a separate area. The store offers a wide range of such products. But there are master classes on how to make a lamp with your own hands from a bottle. And now we will show them to you! :)

How to make a chandelier (master class!)

The main lighting device in the house is the chandelier. You can make it from an ordinary glass bottle. The main thing is that it will be exclusive.

To create such beauty you will need:

bottles (size and quantity depends on the preferences of the owners);
protective equipment (glasses, mask and gloves);
glass cutter and sandpaper;
screwdriver and wire.

Having at hand the necessary tools and materials, you can proceed to the direct manufacture of the chandelier:

1. Soak the bottle in water. This will make it easy to eliminate labels and debris. After cleaning, the container must be thoroughly dried.

Wash bottles and remove labels

2. Cut the bottle. The glass cutter is set at the required level. Cutting is carried out slowly, which will allow you to get a smooth cut line. Work with the cutter only in protective clothing. If the necessary tool is not at hand, then cutting a glass bottle is easily done with a thread. The video below clearly demonstrates this.

3. Now bottle under the tap. Turn on hot water and hold the workpiece under it. Hot water is alternated with cold. As a result of sudden changes in temperature, an unnecessary piece will fall off exactly along the cut line.

4. The cut point is processed sandpaper. The cut must be even and smooth.

5. Using a screwdriver, the lamp is disassembled. The wire must be carefully pulled out and passed through the neck, assemble the lamp back and check it in operation.

6. It remains only to decorate the lighting fixture. For this, ordinary wire is used. Starting from the neck, we wind it around the bottle. For this, any material is used. It can be plain black or colored wire.

The chandelier hanger is ready. It remains only to install it. If desired, the product can be painted and given any design. The main thing is that it is organically combined with the interior of the room.

A good solution would be to use a glass stone. In this case, it should be borne in mind that the light transmission of the product will decrease slightly. For decoration, a stone of various shades is used. You can combine several shades. The main thing is that the lamp looks organic.

The stones are attached to the glass with glue. The lamp can be used only after its complete drying. This will take no more than a day. Complete drying of the glue will ensure reliable adhesion of the stone to the surface. It is better to use an adhesive composition that can withstand temperature changes.

Table lamp (master class!)

A glass bottle is the perfect material to create a table lamp for your bedroom or living room.

For this you will need:

a bottle of the appropriate shape and size;
diamond drill;
shade;
screwdriver;
means of protection;
old towel;
patch;
Wire with cartridge.

Making a lamp from a bottle with your own hands is carried out in the following sequence:

Mark a hole on the workpiece through which the wire will pass. Stick a patch on the mark.
Place the bottle on an old towel and drill a hole for the wire. Drilling is carried out using a diamond drill. The work is carried out in protective equipment.
Soak the finished bottle in water and remove all stickers and dirt.
A wire is passed through the hole and stretched to the neck. At the exit, it connects to the cartridge.
Attach the cartridge and lampshade to the neck.

Homemade glass bottle table lamp is ready. It remains only to check it in operation. If desired, the product can be decorated and decorated. For this, various technologies and materials are used. Glass stones will be an original solution, especially if a glass chandelier made using the previous master class is installed in the room.

Now you know how to make a bottle lamp. Most often, wine bottles are used for the manufacture of such devices. They have different sizes and shapes. This allows you to build an exclusive item that will become a decoration for the room.

Plastic lamp (MK)

Plastic bottles are also widely used for the manufacture of lamps. The peculiarity of this product lies in the ease of installation and lightness. It is easy to make such a lamp from plastic bottles with your own hands. Today, there are several technologies that create original lighting fixtures. Let's start with a simple method.

To make a lamp you will need:

5 liter plastic bottle;
stationery knife;
glue;
disposable spoons.

Manufacturing process:

1. With a knife the bottom is cut off. The cut must be even. In the future, this will simplify the work with decoration.

2. Handles cut off spoons. With the help of glue, the convex parts are glued to the workpiece. You need to start from the neck. Each subsequent row should overlap the previous one.

This time we will have Master Class for manufacturing plastic bottle lamps. Even from two plastic bottles. Everything is done quite simply with your own hands. As a result, we get an interesting, original and, one might say, a designer lamp.

We will need:

- 5 liter plastic bottle
- plastic shampoo bottle
- sealant
- wires
- metal tube
- bulb
- paint on glass
- polymer clay

V These are the bottles we need.

Cut off about half of the 5 liter bottle.

From above, under the neck with a marker, we make six serifs. Equidistant, of course.

From these serifs we draw lines vertically down.

With we draw an approximately similar pattern on the bottle. Try to make it symmetrical.

Below, where the drawing ends, cut out the plastic along the outline of the drawing.

Now, according to the marked drawing, we apply the sealant with thin lines.

Below, where we just cut off the drawing along its contour, we also do not forget to go through the sealant.

Let the sealant dry. After it is completely dry, cover it with silver or gold paint. We need to achieve a metal effect.

Now it is desirable to fill the cavities with paint on glass. Use more than one or two colors. Use three or more colors. The lamp will look richer and brighter.

Now cut off the neck of the bottle. We needed it for convenient application of sealant and paint. We held a bottle for him.

Now let's start cutting a small bottle.

But first, cut out an oval from plywood or thick cardboard.

We make a hole in the middle of it. And we take two caps from such a small bottle and also make holes in them.

At the bottom of the bottle we make three holes in a line. Solder the lid to the bottom. The middle hole in the bottle and in the cap should match.

We insert a hollow metal tube.

We insert the bottle design into a wooden oval.

We fasten with a nut from below.

To hide the traces of the connection, we cover everything with polymer clay.

We cover everything with golden paint or any paint imitating metal.

We fasten the bulb holder to the top of the metal tube. We pass the wires just through the tube.
We now return to the top of the lamp. From above, where the bottle had a neck, we make such a cap.

In order for the upper part to rest on the lower one without additional fasteners, we make such a structure on the light bulb.

Then this structure is inserted into the cap on top of the lamp. The photo shows the inside of the lamp. Because there is polymer clay, everything will harden, after a while.

OK it's all over Now. plastic bottle lamp ready. Everything as you can see was done by hand.

Making a table lamp with your own hands is easy - the main thing is to show imagination

Table lamps are the easiest lighting fixtures to install. Lightweight, compact, they can easily be placed on the bedside table, and on the coffee table, and on the windowsill. Despite the fact that the table lamp does not play a major role in the interior, with its functionality and decorativeness, it gives the room an atmosphere of homeliness and comfort.

A cut is made in each of the keys.

Then the key must be bent.

The key of the bottom row clings to the two keys of the top row.

Thus, continue to fasten the keys to the lower ring of the base.

Children's lamp "Pineapple"

The interior design of a children's room for a girl can be decorated with an interesting lampshade in the form of a pineapple. How to make a shade for such a table lamp? You will need plastic spoons, bright yellow and green acrylic paint, a plastic bottle and a table lamp base.

The bottom and top should be cut off from the bottle, a wire and a light bulb should be mounted in it, and three vertical cuts should be made from the bottom. Then put the bottle with cuts on the base of the table lamp.

Now you should prepare the scales for the pineapple. To do this, cut off a long part of each spoon. Paint the cut spoons with yellow paint on both sides and let them dry well. Next, in the blank from a plastic bottle, you need to make small cuts with a thin sharp knife. Insert spoons into these cuts, starting at the bottom and ending at the top narrow base of the bottle.

From another large plastic bottle, cut out the details for the leaves, paint them with green paint and, after they dry, attach the pineapple tail.

Lamp "Pineapple" is ready.

Ideas for decorating lampshades from beads

Any skillfully made beadwork looks great. A beaded lampshade will look no less beautiful, which, when the light is on, will shine and sparkle, filling the room with multi-colored highlights. There are a lot of options for its manufacture. For example, a similar lampshade can be created based on any cross-stitch pattern:

A little imagination and a handful of multi-colored beads - and the interior of the room will be decorated with such an original lamp:

How to make a table lamp from a bottle?

In order to make a table lamp from a bottle, you need to pick up a container of the original shape, preferably from under a fairly expensive drink with high-quality glass.

First you need to drill a hole for the wires in the bottom of the bottle:

To do this, make a mark with a marker in the center of the bottom (use a ruler).
Next, you need a deep bucket of sand.
Fill the bottle with sand, turn it upside down, sticking the neck into the sand. This will balance the pressure on the glass during the drilling process and reduce the chance of it cracking.
The bottle must be sunk in the sand with rotating movements so that approximately 5 cm of the bottom remains on the surface.
Pour a little water on top of the bottom of the bottle and use a glass drill (0.95 cm) to drill a hole in the center of the mark at minimum speed. In the process of drilling, it is necessary to hold the drill vertically very evenly, with little or no downward pressure. While water will theoretically keep the glass dust from scattering, it is important to prevent it from entering the eyes or respiratory tract. Therefore, be sure to wear a mask on your face and eyes.
It is very good if someone will help you, continuously pouring a thin stream of water onto the bottle.
After the hole is ready, its edges must be processed with sandpaper - this will prevent the wire from being cut during the operation of the lamp.
The same hole should be made in the cork from the bottle, after clamping it in a vise.

If the selected bottle is not beautiful enough, you can decorate it with nail polish.

Now you need to take a strong lid from under the spice jar and drill a hole in its center. The edges of the hole should also be sanded.

Then you need to put the cover on the rod, and add a washer and nut on top to fix the support cover. The bottle is put on top with the base to the lid, neck up. The nut is carefully tightened, securely fixing the structure.
Next, a hole is drilled on the spice jar and the power cord is passed through it, which is then threaded through the rod and brought up. Care must be taken to ensure that the cord in the rod is not twisted.
Now the base cup is strung on the cord and the rod from above, the set screw is tightened tightly and the wire is tied into a knot.

The ends of the wire are stripped and the contacts on the cartridge are released (it is recommended to buy it with a switch). Then you should bend the ends of the wires, pass them through the clamp and tighten the screws on the base.
The cartridge is inserted into the cup on the bottle so that the wires go into the cup, and the light bulb is screwed in.
To the finished lamp, you can choose a shade to your taste. You can plant it on a wire base.

Lamp in the technique of "Jute filigree" from a bottle

How to make such a table lamp from a bottle? Her lampshade is assembled on a form, which was used as a flower pot, from separate fragments of branches. To eliminate the gaps between them, it is necessary to connect them in the process of work with various curls and leaves. The base-bottle made of blue glass is decorated with the same elements. In addition, for its decoration, you can use a simple bleached jute, marbles and a glass outline. As a backlight, an LED strip is ideal, since this option will give the product brightness and, in addition, the LED strip is practically safe.

Jute and marbles can be purchased at specialized stores or ordered online.

It is necessary to prepare branches from which the lampshade will subsequently be assembled.

Form a lampshade. The finished hat looks like this:

Decorate the bottle base.

The bottom and top of the lampshade look like this:

What materials would you use to decorate the lamp? Write your answer in

To create an original table lamp with your own hands, a variety of glass bottles are used, both from alcohol and from other products. The most important thing is that the shape of the bottle is unusual.

Table lamps not only look beautiful, but they are also an environmentally friendly way to reuse "household trash". This lighting fixture is very reminiscent.

This handmade table lamp will be a unique gift for a wine collector or brandy connoisseur. In this case, it is recommended to keep the labels on the bottles. And if you use bottles of oil or another “non-alcoholic” product for the lamp, then it will become a real gift for parents (mothers and grandmothers). In general, suitable for any connoisseur of handmade items.

As already mentioned above, you can leave a branded sticker as a decoration, as well as fill the interior of the bottle with multi-colored glass balls in accordance with the color scheme of your interior.

To create a table lamp with your own hands, you will need:
1. Beautiful bottle.
2. A set consisting of a cartridge, a switch, a cord and a plug. You can use a ready-made kit, or you can buy everything separately.
3. Diamond crown.
4. A small lampshade, which can also be purchased ready-made or made by yourself.

As can be seen from the kit, the costs are the most minimal.

Step 1

The first step is to drill a hole in the bottle, through which the power cord will then be passed. Perhaps this is the most responsible and difficult part of the work.

The place for drilling is selected on the side, which during operation will be located behind the luminaire. Also, the hole for the power cord should be located as close as possible to the base of the luminaire.

Before starting work, it is necessary, by tilting the drill to the side, with the edge of the drill, mark the place of drilling. This is necessary so that the drill does not slip on the bottle and ultimately does not cause harm. After that, you can proceed directly to the drilling process. It should be noted that the drilling site must be constantly watered. This will protect you from glass dust, which will adversely affect your health if it enters the lungs. In addition, the water will not allow the glass to overheat and allow you to complete the difficult work to the end without harming the glass bottle.

Do not forget about protective equipment, such as gloves and goggles. Keep in mind that you perform all drilling work at your own peril and risk. The site site is not responsible for damage caused to your health in the process of manufacturing a table lamp.

The drilling process may take several minutes, depending on the quality and thickness of the glass. Be careful and patient and you will end up with a clean and even cut.

If you still did not dare to do this work yourself, we recommend contacting glass cutting workshops. There, a master of his craft will cope with this task.

Step 2

Pass the power cord through the hole in the bottle. In this case, it is necessary to install a special rubber ring that will protect the power cord from chafing against the edges of the bottle.

If you are using a separately purchased cord, switch, socket and cartridge, then after passing the power cord, you will mount all the elements together.

In the event that you purchased a ready-made kit, you will have to cut the wire that runs inside the switch in order to be able to pass the cord through the opening of the bottle. After you have passed the cord, solder the wire at the cut and assemble the switch.

Attach the cartridge to the neck of the bottle and do not connect the plug to the socket until you finish creating the lamp.

Step 3

The next step is to decorate the interior of the bottle (see description at the beginning of the article), if there is such a desire. Paint the lampshade a color that matches the color of the bottle or the color of your room. Attach the lampshade to the cartridge.

Step 4

Install the light bulb in the socket. A few words about the choice of light bulbs. It is best to use low power or use LED. This requirement is based on the fact that to obtain the least possible heating of the lampshade.

Without any special expenses, you can add a twist to your usual interior of the room and make the design unique. Not everyone has the money to throw away good, but boring things and buy new ones in the house, but you can make changes to the interior of your room if you make a chandelier out of plastic bottles with your own hands.

There are quite a few options with which you can realize such an idea and create a unique element of the interior. In addition, if you especially like this kind of activity, you can turn your hobby into your own work, thanks to which you will earn money while doing what you like.

It is not so difficult to create a chandelier from plastic bottles - the main thing is that it will not take you much time, and the results will surely please you. To do this, you will need some blanks that you will use when creating a unique item for the house.

In addition, this option is a win-win if you make a chandelier out of plastic bottles with your own hands.

Important! If there are no colored plastic bottles on hand in large quantities, but only transparent ones, they can be repainted in the color that you like best.

Undoubtedly, the optimal and most suitable shape of the lamp is a ball.

Blanks for crafts

If you decide to make chandeliers from plastic bottles, first you need to purchase blanks, as well as buy those elements with which you plan to decorate it. Details that may come in handy when creating a chandelier from plastic bottles are wire, satin, plastic, toys, artificial butterflies etc. You will also need wooden slats and wire as fasteners: the whole chandelier will be held on such a frame.

Materials you need to create a chandelier from plastic bottles
In order for you to get to create a chandelier from plastic bottles with your own hands, you will need to prepare:

clean plastic bottles (cleaned of stickers);
nail scissors;
a new light bulb and possibly a socket;
blowtorch;
wire (need thin and thick);
soldering iron;
ordinary scissors;
hand protection gloves;
chandelier frame.

First you need to cut off the top of the bottles, and then cut the resulting ring. So it will be more convenient to cut the leaves out of them. For, to make the edges more beautiful and neat, use not ordinary scissors, but nail scissors: the work is quite painstaking. After that, you need to process the ends of the resulting leaves with a blowtorch.

Remember! It is very important to use protective gloves in order not to get burned or injured when preparing sheets for a chandelier from plastic bottles.

To create a visual effect of naturalness, it is worth heating the front side with a blowtorch, and at the moment when the leaf heats up well, you can make veins on it with a knife.

You can choose the shape of the sheets yourself. The most beautiful look leaves that are similar in shape to maple.

After all the leaves have been prepared, you can proceed to the stage of attaching them to the frame. Thin wire should be cut into small pieces. After that, take a leaf and melt its back side. While it's hot, glue the wire to it. After such work done, you should get full-fledged leaves with sticks.

In the next step, you will need a large and long wire so that the leaves can be collected into one branch. All branches can be neatly screwed to a long wire. The resulting chandelier can now be mounted on the ceiling.

Insert the cartridge and screw in the light bulb. Your chandelier is ready!

There is also benefit from unnecessary material

In this way, using unnecessary material, you can easily create an original lamp at home. A DIY chandelier made from plastic bottles will look beautiful and is suitable for decorating any room. It is important to decide what shape you want to give the lamp, as well as choose the right color scheme.

Originality is now in vogue, and therefore you should not limit your imagination. You can, starting from these options, come up with something of your own, more unusual. Thus, not only you will admire the beauty of the chandelier, but also the guests who will come to your house.

Back in 2009, fashion house Maison Martin Margiela presented its interior collection of table lamps with vintage bottle bases. The non-standard design, as well as the conciseness of the form and color (black or white), subsequently gave rise to numerous attempts to repeat the trend. Including - do DIY bottle lamp.

Maison Martin Margiela bottle lamps

If unusual bottles have accumulated in the house, which only take up space, but it’s a pity to throw them away, you can turn them into exclusive interior items. In the same lamps, first of all. Today we will talk about how to make a lamp from a bottle with your own hands. We will also discuss the question of how to avoid cutting and drilling glass at the same time - difficulties that stop many.

DIY bottle table lamp

Of all the interior items that designers now make from bottles, table lamps from a bottle as a base are the most common. And this is understandable - the fashion is set, and the production is simple. Let's try to repeat.

To begin with, we need to wash the bottle well inside. This is especially true of old bottles, in which over the years it is not known what has accumulated. For our purposes, the bottle must shine, and this in this case becomes a whole problem. Especially if the bottle is 10-20 liters and has a narrow neck, into which no brush can fit.

Therefore, several options are useful that will allow you to wash the bottle from the inside:

How to wash bottles

Pour a quarter liter (250 ml.) of heated table vinegar into the bottle. Add two handfuls of coarse salt and one handful of soda. Vigorously shake the bottle with this mixture for about 10 minutes. If the dirt is not washed off, you can pour hot water to the top and let it stand for half a day - a day. Then pour everything out and rinse it repeatedly to wash the bottle to a shine.
Fine gravel or nails can be added to the same mixture. When shaken, these items will additionally wash the bottle mechanically. Just be careful not to damage the glass. This method is not suitable for containers with thin and fragile glass.
This option can also be useful as a mechanical cleaning: a metal dishwashing sponge is put inside the bottle. A medium-sized magnet is taken. We drive a magnet along the bottle, and a sponge adhering to it through the glass washes the bottle from the inside. Strongly dried dirt is unlikely to be washed off by this method, but a light coating is completely.

How to clean the label from the bottle? If there is a sticker on the bottle and it is not planned to leave it, the easiest way is to wash the glue from the bottle from the label with white spirit.

Now we dry our future base and proceed to create a lamp.

Preparing the base of a table lamp from a bottle

We need to run an electrical cord through the base. And for this you need to drill a hole in the bottle. If there is no desire to drill, look here. In what cases does it make sense to take up a drill? When an aesthetically wound or straightened wire gives an additional decorative effect to the lamp, since it can be seen through the glass. In this case, you need to think in advance about the quality and color of the power cord. In some cases, ordinary black-and-white ones in a plastic winding are also suitable. But you can take the so-called retro: wrapped in fabric. For example, these are:

So, to pass the electrical wire from the base to the neck of the bottle, you need to drill a hole. This can be done with a drill or a screwdriver with a special glass drill:

Types of glass drills

We mark the place of the future hole with a marker and start drilling. The most important thing is that the bottle does not crack. Therefore, it is better to drill intermittently so as not to overheat the glass. You can periodically wet the surface with water.

Or make here the design as in the photo below. To do this, fill the bottle with sand (in addition, you can fix the bottle - for this we take a box that is suitable in size, pour sand into it and bury the bottle in it). To the place where the hole is planned, we attach a piece of electrical tape or medical plaster and drill through it - this will reduce the risk of cracking.

We attach the cord and cartridge to the bottle

Here, everything is about the same as in the case of attaching the cartridge to the base of a table lamp from a bottle, and even much simpler, since you do not need to use an adapter tube for a tight connection.

For some types of bottles, especially those made of light and thin glass, you can generally get by with just one cartridge. You can additionally fix the wire using a cork, as in the photo below:

For greater structural strength, the cork can be lubricated with high-quality glue before inserting.

If the cork of the bottle is screwed on metal, do not rush to remove it. It is enough to drill a hole in it along the diameter of the cord and tie the wire in a knot so that the knot is located under the cork and hides it. Thus, the entire weight of the lamp from the bottle will fall not on the cartridge, but on the assembly.

But the usual simplest forms will also look good, especially for interiors in a minimalist style. If you want something more complicated, you can paint a bottle or a light bulb with glass paints.

Simple lamp - glass bottle lampshade

And finally, let's talk about how to make an easy-to-make lamp from a bottle with your own hands so that nothing needs to be drilled and cut at all. This category of lamps includes all presented in these photos:

The whole principle here comes down to choosing such sizes of a pebble and light bulbs with cartridges so that the latter fit into the bottle without any problems. It can be all kinds of garlands, including solar-powered ones. By the way, the lamps from them will miraculously decorate the garden and, recharged during the day, will light up by themselves in the evening. For the same purpose, you can use pieces of LED strips or small LED bulbs.

Actually, there is only one difficulty in the case of such lamps - how to fix the bulbs in them. This can be done, for example, as follows.

We take a bottle with a wide mouth from under the milk along with a metal cap. And with a knife we cut a circle in the lid along the diameter of the upper part of the cartridge (the one into which the light bulb is screwed):

The next step is to insert our cartridge into the hole and fix it from below with a special mounting ring (sold together with the cartridge - by size - E14, E 27, etc.):

We collect the cartridge and screw the light bulb:

Before screwing the lid with a light bulb connected to it, you can first place a decor inside the resulting bottle lamp:

That's all. We enjoy the result:

By the way, about the decor… Very often the labels on the bottles play its role, adding a touch of authenticity and charm. But what if there is no label on the bottle you like, but we like this feature. You can do something like emitting.

We take a piece of a decoupage card with a pattern or text that we like. Cut out the desired size. And having rolled up the tube, carefully put it inside the bottle. We straighten a piece of paper in it (it is convenient to do this with the help of two long tweezers. We place a light bulb inside.

In this case, you will have to pay attention to ensure that the paper does not come into contact with the light bulb, ideally, purchase a light bulb that does not heat up (led).

Let's take a bottle, clean it from the labels. It is best to practice on a couple of others before cutting the desired bottle, as cutting glass is quite difficult.
Carefully cut with a glass cutter around the circumference of the cut line; take your time - if the lines do not close, you will not be able to cut the bottle evenly.
Next, we take the burner, best of all - if you fix the bottle on something slowly rotating, but you can just fasten it tightly. Carefully start heating the cut, do not forget to slowly rotate the bottle if you just have it fixed. After a while, the cut line will split.

There is an easier way to cut a bottle: we also draw a line around the circumference with a glass cutter, put the bottle in a container with cold water, so that the cut line is covered. Next, pour a little boiling water into the bottle - the bottle will crack along the cut. If not, repeat with a new bottle.

The cut line turned out to be sharp and uneven - we will sand it with sandpaper. As a precaution, wear goggles, a mask and protective gloves.

Put a drop of glue on the edge of the bottle.

We put a glass stone on a drop of glue and press it for a while so that it is fixed on the bottle.

Try to glue the stones in a circle, under the very neck.

After sealing the entire bottle, leave it to dry for a day.

Let's take a lamp. You can take more powerful lamps to make the light more powerful.

Look at how your lamp is arranged so as not to harm the wiring. We carefully disassemble the lamp, carefully remove the wire.

We pass the cord through the bottle, assemble the lamp back, check if it works. We adjust the wooden chopstick to the size of the neck of the bottle, so that it does not put much pressure on the wire and paint it white.

We insert the chopik into the neck, pressing down the wire with it to secure our lamp.

In order to have something to hang our lamp from a bottle for, we take the lamp cord and fold it, forming a loop. We tightly tie the resulting loop with wire or rope. We glue the glass stones on the neck of the bottle and leave to dry for 2 days.

Here are our bottle lamps that will fit perfectly both in the country house and on the balcony!

Make a hole in the cork and thread an electric cord into it, and screw the thread on one side.
Screw on the decorative cartridge.

The original lamp from the bottle is ready!

Pendant lamps from bottles - disconnect the bottom

Such chandeliers will ideally fit into the interior of the kitchen, living room, bar, country house or cafe.

To make them, first you need to cut off the bottom of the bottle:

Take a woolen thread, solvent, a bottle, a lighter, sandpaper, a bowl of ice water.
Cut off a long piece of thread and soak it in solvent.
Around the bottle, in the place that you want to cut off, knit a few circles of woolen thread.
Take the bottle so that it is parallel to the ground and light the thread.
The bottle must be gently scrolled around the axis for several minutes.
When the fire goes out, instantly dip the bottle into the ice water.
Remove the bottom carefully.
Scrape the edges of the bottle with sandpaper.

Making a chandelier

When the bottom is cut off, you can start assembling the lamp:

Take a cartridge or cork and insert it into the neck.
Connect the cord.
Screw in the light bulb.
Hang a lamp from a bottle from the ceiling with a hook or make a special mount.

Thus, you can make lampshades instead of the usual chandeliers. To do this, simply measure the diameter of the bottle neck and see if it fits the size of the finished cartridge. If not, then cut off the neck in the same way as you got rid of the bottom of the bottle. Hang the finished ceiling in place of the old one.

Possible luminaire design

It is not necessary to make a lamp from an ordinary bottle. It can be used as a basis for the implementation of interesting ideas and ideas.

Design options:

Paint the bottle with acrylic paint. You can draw some kind of picture or make a stained glass window. A lot of lamps made of bottles, identical in shape, but painted in different colors, look very nice.
You can tightly wrap the bottle with thread or yarn.
Cover the bottle and engrave.
If you are making a table lamp, then inside the bottle you can pour coffee beans, colorful salt, seasonings, cereals, pasta, and so on. Such a lamp will not only fulfill its intended purpose, but will also serve as an excellent decor for the kitchen.
You can do a lot more.
If there are large perfume jars, they will also serve as excellent material for creating lamps.
To make a pendant lamp, it is not necessary to fix the cartridge or cork in the neck of the bottle. You can completely insert the cord into the container, and place all other parts under the narrow top. Such a bottle will look more like a lampshade. Only then you need to think carefully about fixing the electrical cord.

Lamps from garlands

Do you want a garland to decorate the room all year round, and not just for the New Year? It can be done very simply.

Master class on creating a luminous decor:

Pick up the right glass bottle, Christmas garland, sandpaper and a drill.
Clean the bottle of all labels.
Fix the bottle and carefully drill a small hole at the bottom. A cord from a garland should pass freely through it. Work carefully, because it is very easy not only to get hurt, but also to break the bottle.
Use sandpaper to smooth the edges of the hole so you don't get hurt later.
Push the garland inside the bottle through the drilled hole. It is necessary to place the end where there is no plug and mode switch panel. Try to put the garland so that it twists inside the bottle.

Everything is ready! If desired, you can somehow decorate the bottle. For example, draw a picture, and attach a ribbon or bow to the neck.

Such a lamp is very safe, because nothing will melt from the garland.

Plastic lampshade

Some will say that such a lamp made of plastic bottles is unsafe and has an unaesthetic appearance. In urban areas, this is true. But on the other hand, it is ideal for a gazebo in the country.

Master class: how to make a lamp from a plastic bottle with your own hands:

Prepare a cartridge with an electric cord and a switch, a light bulb (you need an LED, housekeeper or a regular one, but of low power), a five-liter water bottle, a glue gun, pliers, plastic spoons, a screwdriver, a construction knife.
Using pliers, bite off the entire handle from the spoon so that one oval part remains.
Cut off the bottom of the eggplant with a utility knife.
Connect to the network.
When it's ready, start gluing the spoons. The first row goes from the bottom, and all subsequent rows overlap the previous ones a little.
Paste, thus, the entire baklaga.
Glue the spoons together, folding them one into one to make a ring.
Attach the cartridge and cord to the neck of the bottle.
Glue a ring of spoons to the neck.
Screw in the light bulb.

The lamp shade is ready! If desired, it can be painted. In order for the paint to lie evenly, it is better to paint each spoon separately, and then paste over the baklag with them. It is most convenient to use spray paint. So you get less dirty and the layer evenly lies on the surface of the spoons. Plus, it dries faster.
