Pendant lights from bottles - disconnect the bottom

- Take the bottle so that it is parallel to the ground and set fire to the thread.
- The bottle must be carefully scrolled around the axis for several minutes.
- When the fire goes out, immediately lower the bottle into ice water.
- Gently detach the bottom.
- Drain the bottle edges with sandpaper.
Make a chandelier
When the bottom is cut off, you can start assembling the lamp:
- Take a cartridge or cork and insert into the neck.
- Attach the cord.
- Screw in the light bulb.
- Hang the lamp from the bottle to 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 neck of the bottle and see if it fits the size of the finished cartridge. If not, cut the neck off exactly the same way you got rid of the bottom of the bottle. Hang the finished ceiling in place of the old.
Possible luminaire design

Design Options:

- You can tightly wrap the bottle with thread or yarn.
- Cover the bottle with gold leaf, make an engraving.
- If you make a table lamp, then inside the bottle you can pour coffee beans, colored 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.

Lamps from garlands
Do you want a garland to decorate a room all year round, and not just for the New Year? This can be done very simply.
Master class on creating a luminous decor:
- Choose the right glass bottle, New Year's garland, sandpaper and a drill.
- Clean the bottle of all labels.
- Lock the bottle and carefully drill a small hole at the bottom. Through it, the cord from the garland should freely pass. Work carefully, because it is very easy not only to get hurt, but also to break the bottle.
- Using sandpaper, smooth the edges of the hole so that you do not get hurt in the future.
- Push the garland through the hole through the hole. You need to put the end where there is no plug and remote control mode switch. Try to put the garland so that it twists inside the bottle.

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 environments, this is true. But then it is ideal for a summerhouse 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 switch, a light bulb (you need an LED, a housekeeper or an ordinary one, but of small power), a five-liter water tank, a glue gun, pliers, plastic spoons, a screwdriver, a construction knife.
- With a pair of pliers, bite off the handle completely from the spoon so that one oval portion remains.
- Cut the bottom from the buck with a construction knife.
- Connect the glue gun to the mains.
- When it is ready, start gluing spoons. The first row goes from the bottom, and all subsequent ones overlap slightly with the previous ones.
- Paste the whole baklag in this way.
- Glue the spoons together, stacking them one into one to make a ring.
- Fasten the cartridge and cord in the neck of the bottle.
- Glue a spoon ring on the neck.
- Screw in the light bulb.
Lampshade lamp is ready! If desired, it can be painted. In order for the paint to spread evenly, it is better to color each spoon individually, and then paste them over the baklag. It is most convenient to use paint from spray cans. So you get less dirty and the layer evenly lies on the surface of the spoons. In addition, it dries faster.
