How to make wine bottle lamps – 10 tips

You do not have to run to the store for the commercial lamps the next time you want to have a romantic dinner at home. That wine bottle you emptied last night can make you a stylish oil lamp.

Learn how to make wine bottle lamps from a wine bottle in the simplest way possible below.

Materials

An empty wine bottle, a few toothpicks, lamp wick, drill, torch oil and a glass flame.

Method

• Take the wine bottle cork and cut a small piece out. Keep the larger part. Drill a hole through the cork. Hold it firm and keep drilling until the texture around the whole is smooth.
• Take your toothpick and cut off the sharp edges. Pick your wick and insert it into the hole in the cork. Insert the wick and only leave a small part on one side of the cork.
• Put some water in the wine bottle. Add the oil of your choice, in this case, the torch oil. The oil will float on water and give it a cute design.
• Put the wick in the bottle and let it soak in oil. Ensure it is not long enough to touch the water. Light your new lamp and cover with a glass flame.

That is how to make a wine bottle lamp in less than an hour.
