What better way to recycle and decorate your home in an original and cozy way? In this craft we give you two ideas to make decorative lamps with bottles and led lights.
Ready to see how to do it?
Materials that we will need to make our decorative lamps
- Glass bottles of colors whose shape we like.
- Led lights. In my case I have used battery-operated led lights, whose battery is in what would be a cork. Another option is led lights that go to plug. In the latter case, the bottle should be pierced at the bottom to make it look better, this is the reason why I preferred the first option in terms of LEDs.
- Psemi-transparent paper, like tracing paper.
Hands on craft
- The first is clean the bottles well inside and out, eliminating each label or paper that decorates the bottles. For this we can help ourselves with hot water, scourers or a scraper to completely remove the glue.
- Once the bottles are clean it is important let them dry completely before continuing. To make sure of this, it is better to leave them tilted downwards for a few hours so that all the water inside can slip.
- The next step is very simple, we just have to introduce led light and place our bottle in a place of our choice to decorate the room for example. To give it a more personal touch, we can put some pebbles inside the bottle, leaves, branches or whatever comes to mind.
- For the next bottle, we will follow the same steps, but we will introduce on semi-transparent paper in before inserting the led lights. This will cause an effect with the light creating stars instead of the dots on the previous bottle.
And ready! We already have our decorative lamps ready.
I hope you cheer up and do this craft.
