Colorful Bottle Lamps By Rebekah Gavra

Being able to share our readers questions and craft projects is a big part of why we created this DIY blog in the first place. We are excited to still receive submissions after all this time. Tell the whole world about your latest project in our DIY Show Offs section and be seen by thousands of visitors!

Now take a look at the colorful bottle lamps created by Rebekah Gavra and be sure to scroll down to read our answers to Ruth’s drill bit and lamp shade questions.

We received the following message from Ruth:

These ‘bottle lamps’ are designed and painted by my daughter Rebekah who has autism, we have already had several commissions and working on perfecting the final product, drilling, grommets, collared wiring, etc. Thank you for your advice on your blogs.

Bottle Drilling Question

We have used an 8ml glass drill bit (Tungsten carbide) but after drilling 5 bottles it has appeared to be blunt and broke the rest of the bottles Can you advise how to get around this, understand that cooling the drill bit can help?

Cooling the drill bit with a lubricating oil and even cool water will help. Start out slow and be sure to hold the drill bit firmly, don’t let the drill bit wobble too much. Once you have a starter hole for the drill bit to sit in you can speed up the drill and continue drilling. If you make larger holes, it helps to switch out drill bits, going from small to large. This way there is less wear and tear on just one bit, and they will last longer.

Lamp Shade Question

Best place to buy bulk white lampshades for painting on? Also looking for best chrome or metal fixtures on neck of bottles?

The best place we found to buy white lampshades locally is at Walmart. They have a few inexpensive shades in different styles. There are a few wholesale websites that sell lampshades at somewhat reasonable prices. You could also make your own lampshades. This article on Cleanidepia.com explains how to make a lampshade from scratch really well. Did you know? All you need to make lampshade frame is a few wire coat hangers. Cool, huh?

When it comes to the chrome and metal fixtures, check out our supplies page or visit your local hardware store.

Thank you to Ruth, the mom, for reaching out to us. I hope we were helpful in answering your questions. You can see more of her daughter Rebekah’s beautiful, one of a kind, artwork on her Art an Doodles portfolio blog.

BOTTLE-LAMP AMAZON STORE SPOTLIGHT: Was A Bottle

Was A Bottle Spotlight

Everything and anything that you can up-cycle a glass bottle into can be found at the Was A Bottle shop. From glass sets to bottle planters, you will find a nice selection of renewable products that will add to your home’s decor.

These recycled bottles have been re-purposed into these beautiful plant holders. Bring them indoors to give your outdoor area that little “touch of green” or you can hang them on your patio and deck.

The Bombay glass sets make the perfect house warming gift. A sturdy wooden base offers a classy look that will fit with any entertaining set. They also can double as plant holders.

Candle stands also known as storm candle holders can bring a nice ambiance to any room in your home. A wooden base offers a nice solid hand crafted appearance. The set comes with LED lights that will provide a safe alternative to a regular lit candle.

The Grey Goose tumbler set will be a conversation starter at your next party. These distinctly unique glasses make the perfect drink ware. Standing 6″ tall, with a good solid base, the appealing colors and frosted glass make them the perfect addition to anyone’s home.

No bottle part left behind! These bottle necks showcase wonderfully with your kitchen decor. Great conversation starters that make the statement I am ‘Environmentally conscious’.

We always like to remind people that when they are looking at the Handmade shops on-line or in person, that the artistry and craftsmanship is truly genuine. Unique, one of a kind gifts or decorations is something that will distinguish your purchase from these stores.

Amazon Handmade Bottle Craft Round-up

Handmade Bottle Crafts on Amazon

With the Holidays behind us already we will probably be taking our Christmas decor down this weekend. It all went by way too fast (by our standards and not the shopping stores that had decorations up before Halloween). The days still feel dark and gloomy and so it makes it even harder to take down these festive lights that seem to bring a small amount of warmth to our home. Leaving everything up until spring might be seen as being lazy with a little pinch of crazy on top. What’s the alternative? I’m glad you asked.

Decorative bottle decor on the Amazon Handmade store has always been a nice alternative to big box store’s ‘one size fits all’ concept. Each hand made bottle craft is carefully constructed and offers a unique item that is exclusive to it’s end user. Below you will find just a small sampling of the many bottle craft decorations that are available.
