Materials To Decorate Glass Bottles With Beads
Empty wine bottle (or other glass bottle)
Flat glass beads
Superglue (I used clear Gorilla glue)
Battery operated clear lights (optional)
Instructions
Step 1
Clean the wine bottle and remove the labels.
Step 2
Use the glue to attach the gem beads around the bottle, alternating between green and white beads.
After placing a small drop of glue on the bottle, press the bead on top and hold it in place for a few seconds. If the glue isn’t holding the beads in place, try cleaning the bottle with acetone (nail polish remover).
Step 3
When the bottle is covered in gems, set it aside for at least 30 minutes to allow the glue to completely dry.
Step 4
Thread the clear light strand into the bottle, then turn the lights on.
Tips For Making Your Own Beaded Glass Bottles
You can choose any color combination of beads that you like. I really liked the green and white on my light green wine bottle. But you could choose cobalt blue and white for a white bottle that would be beautiful. Or, if you have a dark bottle, choose just clear beads so that you can see the light come through.
Any glass bottle will work! Vodka, tequila and rum bottles (or any alcohol bottle) will be pretty, since they have such unusual shapes. Although it might be tricky to get the beads to stick to some shapes! Even spaghetti sauce or milk bottles will work, too!
Removing labels from glass jars is easier when you use Goo Gone or lemon essential oil. Yes, rubbing lemon essential oil directly on the label and letting it soak in will easily remove those sticky labels from glass!
Wiping a bottle with acetone (nail polish remover) can help remove any residues that you might not see. This can help the glue adhere better. You don’t have to do this step, but it might be helpful.
Decorative glass beads like these can be found in the dollar store! They come in colors, clear, or frosted.
These small light strands are also called fairy lights. They can be either battery operated or plug in lights. Using light strands that have a remote makes it easier to put wine bottle lamps in hard-to-reach places, such as on top of a shelf or hanging from trees.
