Plastic and glass surround us everywhere and very often bottles made from these materials accumulate in large quantities and litter balconies, garages, sheds and verandas. You can just throw everything into a landfill, but it’s better to try to use them as material for creative ideas.
Even inexperienced craftsmen can create an original lamp with their own hands from plastic or glass bottles. It is enough to be inspired by the ideas presented and arm yourself with our tips and recommendations.
Wine bottle table lamp
Beautiful and unusual night lights can be made from wine bottles, which can have the most bizarre shapes. The lighting features will depend on the color of the glass. Lamps made from bottles with an original design fit perfectly into a modern interior.
To make a cozy night light you will need one bottle, simple short garlands, masking tape and a drill with a special drill bit for tiles and glass. It is better to match the color of the light bulbs on the garland to the color of the bottle glass. For example, light bulbs with yellow light (warm lighting) are suitable for containers made of dark brown glass, and a dark blue bottle will be combined with blue or white light bulbs (cold lighting).
When all materials are prepared, you can start working. We take a clean, dry bottle and wrap its lower part and bottom with masking tape in several layers. Next, mark the hole for the wire on the wall or bottom and drill with a wet drill at medium speed, holding the drill straight and firmly fixing it. If you follow all the described recommendations, the glass will not break. When the hole is ready, it should be sanded.
The next stage is the design of the bottle walls. The most affordable option is to paint patterns with translucent stained glass paints. For these purposes, you can use a homemade stencil. With sufficient skill and developed imagination, you can depict something abstract. It should be noted that even without additional decoration, such a table lamp will look great.
The bulbs of the garland are lowered into the bottle one at a time through the hole, leaving the necessary part of the wire with the plug. The lamp is supposed to be oriented vertically with its neck up.
Glass overexposure: interesting ideas for pendant lamps for apartments and cottages
To make a lamp, you can use not only wine bottles, but also shaped bottles for cognac and liqueur or miniature beer bottles.
A composition of lampshades of different sizes and shapes will certainly impress your guests. You can use the frame from an old chandelier, or you can fix them as separate lampshades.
Glass goes perfectly with a metal or wooden frame.
To carefully and safely remove the bottom of a bottle, you need to wrap the bottle along the “cut” line with woolen thread in several layers, then, after tying the ends, remove the wrapping to wet it in acetone or vinegar and put it back on the bottle. After this, the thread should be set on fire and, turning the bottle, wait until it burns out and then immediately lower the bottle into a pre-prepared basin or sink with cold water. The bottom will easily fall off, leaving a clean, smooth edge.
Another method requires rigid fixation and a glass cutter. First, use a glass cutter to make a closed cut line. In this case, the glass cutter is pressed tightly against the glass, and the bottle, sandwiched between the bars, is slowly rotated. When the line is ready, the container is immersed in cold water slightly above this line, and boiling water is poured inside through a funnel. As a result of such actions, the glass at the notch will burst and the bottom will fall off. All that remains is to sand the edges with sandpaper or a block. You may not get the desired result right away, so first you can practice on not the most beautiful bottles.
To implement the idea presented in the next photo, you will need three identical containers made of light brown glass. When the bottom is separated by the methods described above, you can begin assembly and decoration, which consists of randomly wrapping copper wire.
The next version of the pendant lamp is suitable for the kitchen and living room.
A convenient and practical lamp for illuminating a country porch or a gazebo for tea drinking can be made quite simply and quickly from beautiful bottles of noble alcohol lying around. To be more economical, it is better to use energy-saving lamps.
A street lamp from bottles can be made using solar-powered LED lamps or using wax candles. Such structures are indispensable in places where it is difficult to install an electrical wire. Glass perfectly withstands contact with open fire, so using candles is completely safe.
Pendant lamps and chandeliers made from elements of plastic bottles
A pendant lamp made from a plastic bottle will be weightless and easy to attach. There are many options on how to make a plastic masterpiece, but it’s better to start with the simplest. Let's consider several basic manufacturing options.
Plastic lamps transmit light well and are reliable in operation. This is an excellent option for the kitchen of a private home or cottage.
For this option we use a 5-liter bottle and a lot of disposable plastic spoons. The bottom of the container needs to be cut off. We cut off the handles of the spoons and glue them with hot glue to the surface of the bottle in a circle so that each subsequent row slightly overlaps the previous one. To close the neck, you need to make a “rim” from spoons glued into a ring. Next, secure the socket and light bulb as described above.
In the next option, cut bottoms act as decoration, which look like airy 5-petal flowers. You can use clear bottles of different sizes, cutting off only the flat bottom. In this case, all the elements are connected with a rope or nylon thread and secured to the base in the form of a cut off upper part of a large bottle with a neck. The collected chains can be of different lengths, which will give the product a more sophisticated look. The upper part of each chain should be glued to the base in such a way as to ultimately completely cover its surface.
White plastic bottles with a protruding bottom for kefir and other fermented milk drinks can also be used. In this case, cut off the bottom with low edges. We connect the elements together using glue in the shape of a bowl, placing elements of a larger diameter on top, and closer to the hanging edges of the bowl - a smaller one. To attach the cartridge and wire, we use the already described method using the top part of the container.
Lamps from bottles can be made from available materials at no extra cost, without special skills and in a fairly short time. If you wish, you can try to test your strength by creating an exclusive plastic chandelier using an old frame.
Chandeliers made from multi-colored glass bottles of lemonade or beer look very interesting and unusual. In general, there are a great many directions for flights of fancy.
We all love beautiful lamps. They are an excellent option for visually transforming the interior of almost any apartment. The most interesting thing is that it’s not at all difficult to make a lamp from a bottle with your own hands. Let's look at several ways to implement such an unusual idea.
Original lamp from a wine bottle
DIY wine bottle lamp
Wine is one of the most popular alcoholic drinks in the world. There is no doubt that in almost every home at least one bottle is bought for every holiday.
This is interesting: After the wine is drunk, the container becomes unnecessary and is simply thrown away. Luckily, old bottles can be turned into interesting lamps that can add a magical touch to your living room or bedroom. They look especially beautiful in complete darkness. Let's find out how to make such a lamp!
Step-by-step instruction
1. Select the appropriate material. Collect all the empty wine bottles and choose a few of the same ones to use to make a lamp. You can take different bottles, but in this case the composition will not be complete. They can be any color. A lamp made from a frosted bottle and a brighter LED garland will look especially beautiful.
2.Remove the label. The label must be carefully removed from each bottle. For best results, use a sponge and warm water.
Washing wine bottles
3.Rinse the bottles. They need to be thoroughly treated both outside and inside. After this step, leave the bottles to dry completely.
4. We outline a place for the wires. It is necessary to mark the place from which the wires of our lamp will come out. It is better to make a hole in the side wall near the bottom. This way your lamp will look much neater and more aesthetically pleasing.
5. Prepare the water. We will need it to make a hole in the bottle.
6.Power tools. Prepare in advance the tool you will use to make our hole for the wires. A diamond crown is best suited for such painstaking work. This way you can do everything carefully, and the hole will be smooth.
Use clay to drill a hole
7.Use clay. We make a cake from clay and apply it to the intended hole. While drilling, you will need to occasionally slowly and carefully pour water into our hole. This is necessary to ensure that the bottle does not overheat and crack.
8.Drilling. Drilling must be done very carefully so as not to damage the bottle. After completing this process, remove the clay and rinse the bottle again.
The hole must be sanded
9.Use sandpaper. To make the hole smooth, you need to go over it with sandpaper. This way you will sharpen sharp edges and protect yourself from possible injury. This is also necessary in order not to damage the wires that will come out of this hole. Select a piece of sandpaper whose grit is 150 mm.
10.Re-cleaning the bottle. After the work is done, I wash it again.
11.LED lights or garlands. Take LED lights or garland. Single-color lights will look beautiful. But you can also use a multi-colored garland. It all depends on your preferences.
We insert the garland into the bottle through the hole
12.Place the lights in the bottle. Insert the garland into the bottle so that its plug comes out of the hole made.
13. Gasket in the bottle hole. You can use a special gasket to secure the wires. This is optional, but it will help prevent accidental damage to the wiring. In addition, with such a gasket the appearance of the lamp will look much better.
Insert the rubber gasket
14. Fasten the wires. After installing the gasket, you need to secure the wires well.
15.Connect. After the work has been done, you can see what you got. Plug in your new lamp. If you don’t like the way the garland looks, you can carefully straighten it. To avoid having to disassemble the lamp, take a thin stick and use it to eliminate any imperfections.
Wine bottle lamp is ready
16.Done. You can decorate the bottle with decorative ribbons or laces (optional). We hope you are satisfied with the result!

There is an even easier way to create a lamp from glass bottles - without drilling a hole. We offer video instructions:
DIY lamp made from a plastic bottle
You can make a rather unusual lamp yourself from simple plastic water bottles. Such a craft will look truly unique and original. Finding analogues is not easy.
Original lamp made from plastic bottles
Necessary materials to create a lamp
To make a lamp according to the scheme proposed below, you will need several plastic bottles of various sizes. So, for the base you can use a large bottle, for example, a five-liter one. And for additional decor - smaller bottles. It is important that they have the same color and size.
Base for lamp made from plastic bottles
In addition to the bottles themselves, you will also need to prepare an electric socket, a sufficiently long wire, a plug and the light bulb itself.
Important information: Traditional incandescent lamps are a bad option for our lamp. The fact is that in the process of heating the glass, the plastic can begin to melt, releasing an extremely unpleasant odor. In the worst case, this can even lead to a fire. To make a lamp from plastic bottles at home, you need to purchase exclusively halogen light bulbs (economical). Their advantage is that during operation there is no strong heating.
Marking a bottle lamp
Step one: preparing the base for the lamp
The basis of the lamp will be a large plastic bottle or a five-liter bottle. It is necessary to cut off the lower part (bottom) from it. Leave the top of the container intact; an electrical wire will be passed through the neck later.
Marked base for lamp
Then you need to measure the diameter of the necks of other plastic bottles that will be used for decoration. You can simply attach them to the main container and use a marker to draw circles of the appropriate size. It is advisable to increase the diameter by a few millimeters so that later you can screw the bottles into the side holes without any problems.
Holes in a bottle lamp
Helpful Hint: The easiest way to cut holes for the side bottles is to use a wallpaper knife. But if it is not there, you can use ordinary sharp scissors.
Step two: preparing plastic bottles for decoration
Plastic containers for decoration are prepared as follows. First, their bottom is cut off, then the workpiece is evenly cut into thin strips (you can see the approximate thickness in the photo). The strips are cut right down to the neck - the thickest part of the plastic bottle.
Cutting a bottle to decorate a lamp
Each piece is then heated over a gas burner until it melts, giving it a disordered and chaotic appearance. It's not difficult to do this. Firstly, narrow strips of plastic, in any case, under the influence of high temperatures begin to change their shape, bending in the most bizarre way. If you want to correct the shape, use special tweezers or pliers.
Cut bottle for lamp decoration
Step three: assembling the lamp
After melting, all prepared bottle blanks are carefully screwed into the base. All that remains is to make a small hole in the base cover with a heated soldering iron, a special burner or any other available method.
Melting of plastic bottles for a lamp made from plastic bottles
An electrical wire is threaded through this hole and connected to the socket. And for ease of use, you can also attach a loop made of wire. This way it will be convenient to hang the lamp in the right place.
Insert decorative bottles into the holes
At the last stage, an electric plug is screwed to the second end of the wire, and a halogen light bulb is inserted into the threaded socket. That's all - an unusual lamp made from plastic bottles is ready for use. Hang it by the loop, plug it in and check it out!
Insert the cartridge
If you like the result, you can try to make a few more similar home lamps using plastic bottles of different colors for them. The result will be decorative and very attractive lighting, which, due to the special decor, will shine in an unusual way on the walls and ceiling of your room.
In the modern world you cannot do without lighting. But store-bought lamps do not always fit the home designer’s ideas. Available materials will help solve the problem. Without any special material investments, wine and plastic bottles can make a beautiful and original lamp for any room. It will help make the interior unique.
Kinds
First you need to remember that lamps are divided into several types:
- desktop;
- floor;
- ceiling;
- wall;
- street;
- portable.
Some lamps are powered by electricity, so you will have to provide a cord connection to the lamp. Some lamps will run on batteries. Lighting devices in the country can be powered by solar panels. And to create romance, you can use candles.
In addition, light bulbs for lamps are also different. And before manufacturing an electrical appliance, you should consider the issue of safety. Regular incandescent lamps get very hot, which means they should not be used near a plastic lampshade.
Safer are LED lamps or strips, fluorescent lamps, fluorescent and neon lamps.
Tabletop
Since the glass bottle is stable, it is often used as a leg. The main problem with such lamps is connecting the cord to the bulb. There are several ways to do this.
Hole on the wall
Close to the base on the wall of the bottle you can make a hole for the cord to come out.
Before starting work, you need to clean and dry the bottle and mark the location for the hole. For further work you will need a small amount of water, a piece of clay, a drill and a drill with a diamond bit. You need to stick clay to the location of the future hole. As you drill, you need to gradually pour water onto the clay so that the drill and bottle do not overheat.
When the hole appears, remove the clay, sand the edge and wash the bottle again. After complete drying, a cord is pulled inside to which the cartridge will be connected. The plug is attached to the other end of the cord and remains “outside”.
You can place small multi-colored pebbles or garlands in a transparent bottle. This will hide the cord.
A socket is attached to the wire on top and the light bulb is screwed in. A homemade or ready-made frame for the lampshade is installed on the neck of the bottle.
Removing the bottom with thread
You will need wool or natural twine. The thread is generously moistened with alcohol or gasoline. It needs to be wrapped in 2-3 layers around the bottle in the place where the cut should be. For further actions you need a small container with cold water.
The bottle with the alcohol-soaked thread is picked up in a horizontal position. The thread is set on fire, and the bottle is rotated around its own axis so that the combustion is slow. As soon as the thread burns out, the bottle must be sharply lowered into water. Temperature changes will cause the glass to crack. But it doesn't always work out the first time.
The edge is sanded. A cord is placed inside the bottom of the bottle with an outlet through the neck, a Christmas tree garland is beautifully placed over the entire volume of the bottle, or you can put a low lamp for which the bottle will serve as a lampshade.
In all cases, the cord should be flat and thin so that the bottle sits securely on the table.
From under the lampshade
The third option for supplying electricity is the simplest, but not always aesthetically pleasing. The lamp wire does not get inside at all. A lampshade is attached to the neck, which hides the light bulb socket and wire. Thus, the cord comes directly from under the lampshade.
Lampshades are often made from plastic bottles.
Floor
Since a floor lamp is often a tall thing, additional materials will be needed: wood, wire, metal fittings.
Palm lamps are brown plastic bottles mounted on a metal pole. The base will be a cross, decorated with “grass” made of green plastic. Palm leaves are cut from it. Coconut lamps can be glass beer bottles in the form of barrels, inside of which small LED lamps are placed.
But a floor lamp can be just a floor lamp. Several plastic bottles need to be cut in half. Bells are cut out from the top part. You need to pass a white Christmas tree garland or LED strip through the neck and place the structure on the floor, bending it in a bizarre shape. Such a lamp will provide diffused light and decorate the living room. You can also make a garland or floor lamp from bottles.
When creating such a decor, the lamp can be coated with acrylic paint or colored plastic can be used.
Chandeliers
In a large room, a wooden pendant lamp with glass bottles that are inserted into the holes of the wooden frame will look great. You will need several wine bottles of dark or multi-colored glass. A socket with a light bulb and an output wire is placed inside each one. The entire structure is powered by one or more switches.
Glass bottles can be cut in half and the top half used. The cord is pulled from the chandelier through the hole and a socket with a light bulb is attached.
Such a lampshade for a chandelier will look even more interesting if the bottles are cut at an angle.
And if you can choose them in the same color scheme, for example, yellow-orange-green, then it will be a very beautiful chandelier. A multi-arm chandelier can be built in the form of a ball or trapezoid.
But the lower part of glass bottles can be used in the form of glasses. You just need to melt the top edge with a burner - and the glass is ready. By the way, it can be used as a candlestick.
Ideas for creating a chandelier
But the ceiling lamp can also be made of plastic. Here are some ideas.
To implement an interesting option you will need:
- five-liter canister;
- a large number of disposable spoons;
- stationery knife;
- hot glue gun (or liquid nails).
The bottom of a five-liter container is cut off. The handles of all spoons are cut off, leaving approximately 1.5 cm. Starting from the bottom row, the spoons are glued tightly to each other around the container. The next, higher row is glued so as to create the effect of scales. This way the bottle is completely covered.
The neck can be decorated with the same spoons or using parts from an old chandelier. From below, a wire with a mounted socket is threaded through the neck of the bottle. All that remains is to connect the structure to the ceiling.
A lampshade for a chandelier can be made either single from a large container, or with 2-4 arms from smaller bottles. For this you will need:
- bottle(s);
- twine or colored thick threads;
- PVA glue;
- brush;
- acrylic paints;
- furniture varnish;
- stationery knife.
The light bulb will be attached under the neck. We decide on the length of the lampshade. Cut off the bottom of the plastic. The upper part of the container should be coated generously with glue and immediately wrapped tightly with twine. After the glue has completely dried, the twine can be painted with acrylic paints and varnished. But using colored threads, you don’t have to paint the lampshade. If the threads are wool, then you don’t need to varnish them either.
Another idea - and again, for one or more lampshades. You will need:
- bottle(s);
- hot glue;
- glass pebbles of different colors;
- stationery knife.
The bottom of the container is cut off. The entire bottle is covered with stones. After about a day, you can install the cartridge and attach the lampshade to the ceiling.
When making several of these lampshades, they can be hung at different levels.
Wall sconces
If the lampshade of an old sconce is broken, it can be made from plastic bottles. To do this, you need to cut a large number of leaves of yellow, green, orange. Using wire, leaves are braided around the lamp. Pleasant diffused light will appear in the room.
For a room in an oriental style, a Chinese lantern above the bed is suitable.
- To do this, a flat plastic bottle needs to be cut from the neck to the bottom into very thin strips.
- You should pull the wire through the strips by hand from the bottom to the neck. The wire is fixed in such a way that the bottle becomes significantly lower than its height. The strips turned the container into a flashlight.
- All that remains is to install the socket with an energy-saving light bulb through the strips and bring the wire out through the neck.
- All you need to do is attach a beautiful hook to the wall and hang the wire on it, extending it to the socket. The wall lamp is ready.
Street lights
You can make beautiful and unusual lighting with your own hands for a gazebo in your garden.
To do this, you will need a large dark glass bottle with a hole along the length, approximately 2/3 of the way. Moreover, the hole may have uneven edges.
The bottle should be placed sideways in a decorative container filled with river sand. A socket with a cone-shaped light bulb is placed horizontally inside the bottle.
Using shells, old coins, starfish, artificial algae, and shiny elements, the bottle is decorated in such a way that both sand and small objects are inside the container. The bottle itself also needs to be partially buried in the sand.
The wire to the socket is passed through the tabletop. This lamp will remind you of the sea and adventures. And if you also decorate the gazebo with a fishing net, the neighbors will be jealous!
But if there is no electricity at the dacha, they will help out with candles. Ordinary thick candles should be covered on top with a glass colored bottle without a bottom. This will protect the fire from the wind.
One of the main elements of interior decor is a chandelier. With its appearance it gives the room a special zest and style, and with its lighting it will create coziness, mood and harmony.
Today there are many different chandeliers, but not everyone can choose something of their own... Don’t be disappointed, because you can create such an important decorative element yourself... For example, you can make a chandelier with your own hands from plastic bottles!
The process of creating a chandelier is very simple; it will only require a little time, perseverance and imagination.
Tools and materials for making a chandelier from plastic bottles:
- plastic 5l. bottle;
- plastic 2l. bottles;
- wire;
- stationery knife or scissors;
- transparent glue;
- tweezers;
- candle;
- decorative decoration.
To start with 5l. The bottle neck is carefully cut off.
Then cut off the bottom.
The height of the chandelier can be very varied, it depends on everyone’s preferences.
Afterwards, we got a blank chandelier.
Their sizes also depend on everyone’s preferences; in this case, the pieces turned out to be on average 3-4 cm. Thanks to the varied color palette of plastic bottles, with the shade of a chandelier, as well as their combination, you can safely experiment...
After the 2-liter plastic bottles have turned into quite a bunch of particles, they need to be given a unique shape using a candle. To do this, take one plastic piece with tweezers and hold it over a burning candle.
As a result of deformation, you will get a nice curved particle.
The bottom edge of the product can also be held slightly over the candle, as a result of which it will also turn out wavy, which looks very nice!
Then, you need to glue the resulting deformed plastic pieces onto the surface of the chandelier. The glue must be transparent! It is applied in strips to a small area of the chandelier.
After which, wavy particles are attached to it.
They should be glued quite tightly for a more expressive and “lush” effect. The result is a very beautiful “airy” surface...
And when the lighting is on, they shimmer great!
After all the pieces of plastic are glued to the craft, you need to attach a socket with a light bulb.
You can also decorate the craft with some small decorative element, for example, a butterfly made from a plastic bottle.
That's all, the original “airy” chandelier made from plastic bottles is ready!
The final look of the craft. Photo 1.
The final look of the craft. Photo 2.
It looks great in natural light and sunlight, and when the (artificial) lighting is on, it will give the room some kind of glare and a pleasant, dim light. This extraordinary chandelier will be a great addition to the interior of your room!
Decorating a home is a complex and responsible task that you can handle on your own. The peculiarity is that some interior items can be created with your own hands. Thus, 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 fixture of 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 (goggles, mask and gloves);
- glass cutter and sandpaper;
- screwdriver and wire.
Having the necessary tools and materials at hand, you can begin the actual production of the chandelier:
1. Soak the bottle in water. This will make it easy to remove labels and debris. After cleaning, the container must be thoroughly dried.
We wash bottles and remove labels
2. Make a bottle cut. The glass cutter is installed at the required level. Cutting is carried out slowly, which will allow you to get an even cut line. When working with a cutter, you must wear protective clothing only. If you don’t have the necessary tool at hand, cutting a glass bottle can easily be done with thread. The video below clearly demonstrates this.
3. Now the bottle is placed under the tap. Turn on the hot water and keep the workpiece under it. Hot water is alternated with cold. As a result of sudden temperature changes, the unnecessary piece will fall off exactly along the cut line.
4. The cut area is being processed sandpaper. The cut should be even and smooth.
5. Use a screwdriver to disassemble the lamp. The wire must be carefully pulled out and passed through the neck, put the lamp back together and check its operation.
6. All that remains is to decorate the lighting fixture. For this, ordinary wire is used. Starting from the neck, we wrap it around the bottle. Any material is used for this. This can be regular black or colored wire.
The chandelier pendant is ready. All that remains is to install it. If desired, the product can be painted and given any design. The main thing is that it blends organically with the interior of the room.
A good solution would be to use glass stone. It should be taken into account that the light transmittance of the product will decrease slightly. Stones of various shades are used for decoration. You can combine several shades. The main thing is that the lamp looks organic.
The stones are attached to the glass using glue. The lamp can only be used after it has completely dried. 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 will be an ideal material for creating a table lamp for a bedroom or living room.
For this you will need:
- a bottle of appropriate shape and size;
- diamond drill;
- shade;
- screwdriver;
- Remedies;
- 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. Apply adhesive tape to 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 wearing protective equipment.
- Soak the finished bottle in water and remove all stickers and dirt.
- A wire is passed through the hole and pulled to the neck. At the output it is connected to the cartridge.
- Secure the socket and lampshade to the neck.
A homemade table lamp from a glass bottle is ready. All that remains is to check it in action. If desired, the product can be decorated and embellished. For this, various technologies and materials are used. An original solution would be glass stones, especially if a glass chandelier made using the previous master class is installed in the room.
Now you know how to make a lamp from a bottle. Most often, wine bottles are used to make such devices. They have different sizes and shapes. This allows you to build an exclusive item that will decorate the room.
Plastic lamp (MK)
Plastic bottles are also widely used to make lamps. The peculiarity of this product is its ease of fastening and lightness. It’s easy to make such a lamp from plastic bottles with your own hands. Today, there are several technologies that are used to create original lighting devices. 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. Using a knife the bottom is cut off. The cut should be smooth. This will make decorating easier in the future.
2. Handles are cut off spoons. Using glue, the convex parts are glued to the workpiece. You need to start from the neck. Each subsequent row should overlap somewhat with the previous one.
