I have been wondering for months how to drill a hole in a glass bottle and every tutorial I've seen has seemed way too complicated and beyond my skill level. Thanks for posting this.
OK. These are the clearest, simplest instructions I have ever heard! I am the most NON electrical/mechanical person on the planet and I did this! The hardest part was threading the metal tube into the adapter! My fingers are killing me! But everything else is simple. I need to go buy a lamp shade and then we will be all set! My husband will be amazed when he returns home the day after tomorrow and sees what I did! I am so proud of myself!!! Thank you!!!!
Have a bottle I really like and want to make into a lamp - thank you for the clear and informative video! Makes me much more confident to start this project.
Thank you so much for this video!! I have a couple of huge glass liquor bottles that I want to turn into lamps but didn't know how. I love all your wine bottle videos! I have been collecting bottles for several years to do projects with and to melt down in a kiln. I have so many ideas now from watching your videos!! Thank you!!!!
This is good to know.....My daughter is trying to get pregnant,I know what I'm going to try now...I'll send a picture when I try one...this will be one of my crafts for the summer.I like to learn at least one new craft a year. Thanks for sharing.I love your crafts and the excitement you show us when you teach....Lori...
Oh thank you! I’m definitely less intimidated to do this than I’ve been. Thank you so much, saving this in my DIY to do video list for sure. Thanks so much! Mua
Thanks so much for sharing! I always wanted to make some of these, but I was and still am afraid of the drilling part of it lol. Maybe one day I'll finally get the nerves to do so. I'm also looking forward to the decorating part of the video....I know it's gonna be spectacular as ALWAYS!
Saw another video where they drilled the hole in a bucket of cool water to keep it cool and prevent the glass particles from flying in the air. Just a potential extra tip!
This was awesome!! I loved your video . I am going to try it because you made seem simple . I have a bunch of wine bottles that I have been saving and now I know what I will be doing this weekend. Thank you! 😘
Nice one great work. I didnt know it was possible to drill a hole in a bottle but I learned something new from you. Very informative and like your channel :)
That's a great job girl !!! Only one thing tho, if you put a rubber gromet onto the drilled hole, it will look even better, and more importantly, protect the wire from the sharp edges of the glass. This was a wonderful video tho !!!!!
This is the second video that I have seen of yours. What talent you have! I have a lamp that I love however I cannot get it to turn on but watching your channel I am going to see if I can purchase a light kit and rewire my lamp so that I can continue to use it I was going to throw it out. I didn't even know? I didn't know, however I thought somebody new because it was made I just thought that I had to go purchase a new lamp. Thank you so much for your videos, I like the way you show, teach, answer questions, thank you directions and the step-by-step instructions are easy to follow. 😀😀😊😌🙂 Thank you (JW Wichita Kansas).
I haves wanted to do this at least 6 bottles ago. I tried to answer your question but it wouldn't open. I upcycle bottles as a stress reliever. I just enjoy being creative and letting my day drain away.
Lol, well I'm glad I finally posted this video. I totally understand as I myself suffer from mental health issues and crafting is my relax time. Well, was until I started making videos lol! You can share your crafts with all of us on any of my social media accounts. I have them linked in the description box of every video. I would love to see your work. 🤗
Ooooh I can't wait to see how you decorate them! I want to do a Unicorn-inspired bottle next. Not an actual unicorn, just something pastel and fantasy-ish.
I did it !!!! First bottle broke but I got it on the second try and used the cork like you did and it lit up 🌝🌝🌝 Thanks❤ It's amazing what we can do when we are sober.
Oh my! I hope you didn't hurt yourself and good on you for not giving up and trying again!!🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼 That's what I'm talking about! I'm so happy to hear it worked for you and yes, it truly is! 🤗🙏🏼❤
2 tips to make things safer and easier. 1) They make grommets that will fit the hole drilled in the bottle and the wire threads through that. This protects the wire from being scrapped by the rough glass and prevents shorting it out. 2) When you attach the wire to the socket bend the wire over the screw clockwise as this is the direction the screw is tightened and it will be much less likely to strip out. OK, I just thought of something else, 3 ;-) Try drilling the cork out with a bit slightly undersized of the threaded rod. It's small enough and soft enough you could probably hold it in your hand keeping the drill at a slower speed. Cool though the cork idea. I don't think I've ever had one of those stoppers fit well and the corks are always long gone but I'm going to try to get them at a craft store. Thanks ;-)
Awesome tip! I knew about the rubber grommets I just couldn't find them but that tip about the drill, whoohoo! That would have been a lot easier lol! Next time! Thanks, Charlie! Happy crafting! 🤗
Hello! 👋 On this particular lamp kit, you have to buy a lampshade that has an open ring in it. You place the shade by placing the ring around the bulb holder and then screw the lightbulb in. I hope that makes sense 😆🙏🏽🤗
DIYNoNeedToCry I'm deff gonna try didnt know 'Wally Worldc sold the lamp kits...I have a glass drill bit because I used to make hookas out of wone bottles,
No. Go to lowes or home depot and get a ceramic drill bit for tile and glass. You can also get diamond grit hole saw bits on amazon for $8 for a 4 pack.
You made that look so easy! A FRIEND HAS WANTED ONE OUT OF A GREY GOOSE BOTTLE. I HOPE FOLLOWING YOUR INSTRUCTIONS WORK FOR ME AS WELL. I WOULD LIKE TO KEEP THE LABEL ON THOUGH, IS THAT GOING TO BE A HAZARD? THANKS IN ADVANCE!You're NEWEST Subscriber:)) Look forward to watching more & seeing your new uploads as well Mimi♥
Hello👋 Welcome to the crafty fam! Just take your time and you'll be fine. If you run into any problems, I'm here to help as much as I can. No, I don't think the label would cause any hazard. I hope it goes well, happy crafting! 🤗🙏
Yes!! Just make sure to tilt the bottle when placing them inside so they slide on the side of it. It will prevent them from dropping straight in and cracking the glass.
Hi Lenora, so sorry you're having trouble... please inbox me on facebook and tell me what's going on. I hope I can help you out. facebook.com/diynoneedtocry/
Awesome! Go to my facebook page for this page and you can post it there. The link is at the bottom of the description box of every video. I can't wait to see it! 🤗
I didn't go lower because I was afraid of breaking it, but I have since made more and have drilled lower. It is safe, just don't go to close to the edge.

Where did you get the glass drill bit?
Thanks for sharing ✌️
Thank you! At the hardware store. Lowes I believe 🙏
@@DIYNoNeedToCry
Thank you, I actually found a set on Amazon. Can't wait to put them to use. ✌️👍

Girl, you are brave with that drill on that bottle! Great job but I don’t have the nerve!
Lol, It's not that hard, trust me.
This is great I've been wanted to learn how to make a lamp thanks for sharing.
This is an excellent idea.
Awesome can not wait to try this!
🙌
Great. Excellent , now is your turn to make it look with style. Do the other part of your magic !!
Lol ❤
THIS IS AN AWESOME IDEA !!! 💡
Thank you! 🤗
Glass will.not break during drilling???
I was nervous watching you drill the hole. My luck, the bottle would break. Lol. Can't wait to see how you will decorate it. As always, great work.
Lol, I was nervous too Silvia! It's pretty easy once you realize it's all in your head. ❤🤗
DIYNoNeedToCry glad you were drilling instead of me. Lol. 😂
😆
Love this, but cannot find the video where you decorated the bottle/lamp?

You are so TALENTED...LOVE..LOVE..LOVE

Great idea ✨
How did you put the lamp shade on
Hello! 👋 On this particular lamp kit, you have to buy a lampshade that has an open ring in it. You place the shade by placing the ring around the bulb holder and then screw the lightbulb in. I hope that makes sense 😆🙏🏽🤗
been wanting to do this forever
Should do it, not hard at all. :)
DIYNoNeedToCry I'm deff gonna try didnt know 'Wally Worldc sold the lamp kits...I have a glass drill bit because I used to make hookas out of wone bottles,
I stay at wally world lol and cool, so you got the scariest part down. I want to see when you're done so tag me on IG! 😀
thanks! This is really great :)
Obrigado por compartilhar seus conhecimentos! !
Obrigado por assistir!
Very nice
🤗💗
Would a regular drill bit work because I don't have a glass drill bit ??
I've never tried it but I don't think that's a good idea.
No. Go to lowes or home depot and get a ceramic drill bit for tile and glass. You can also get diamond grit hole saw bits on amazon for $8 for a 4 pack.
Hey I ordered a box of diamond cut drill bits from Amazon for $10
and it worked...
@@bobbievillarreal5305 Awesome!!
@Angelo Gamble The other pieces will fit, I didn't realize it at the time but when you screw it tightly, the piece will expand and fill the hole.

What kind of drill bit is that???
Glass drill bit
Is it safe to put rocks in the bottle to weigh it down?
Yes!! Just make sure to tilt the bottle when placing them inside so they slide on the side of it. It will prevent them from dropping straight in and cracking the glass.
@@DIYNoNeedToCry thank you!
i used play sand to fill mine.
This is also a great way to give the bottle some weight as long as you add a rubber grommet to the lamp cord hole to make sure none of it spills out.
@@DIYNoNeedToCry or clear caulk ;)
Awesome job.
Thank you! 🤗
omg I'm having so many problems.... Help
Hi Lenora, so sorry you're having trouble... please inbox me on facebook and tell me what's going on. I hope I can help you out. facebook.com/diynoneedtocry/

🤗
Is that a regular wall drill or any special glassbottle drill ?
It's a glass drill bit.
Anyone know where can i order this bottle lamp kit?
Amazon, Lowe's, Home Depot, and Walmart just to name a few places that have them.
Thank you Thank you I have made a Hello Kitty lamp thanks to you! How can I post to show you
Awesome! Go to my facebook page for this page and you can post it there. The link is at the bottom of the description box of every video. I can't wait to see it! 🤗
Hi there again I finished the lamp except for the shade check messenger to see the pictures thank you for your inspiration.
Came for the tutorial but stayed for the accent
You could have used a drill to drill through the cork,lol very cool craft though.
I'm gonna try this but I'm curious if I drilled the hole lower if it would be okay? It seemed a little too high, what's your thought?
I didn't go lower because I was afraid of breaking it, but I have since made more and have drilled lower. It is safe, just don't go to close to the edge.
You are so unike beautiful thank u for sharing.i lobe it!
🤗 TY Elizabeth 💗
Please make ice dragon inspiring bottle plz plz plz
I will put it on the list of request and thank you. :)
