Creative Homemade Bottle Light Ideas to Illuminate Your Space

DIY Glass Bottle Light

Upcycle an old glass bottle into a glowing light for your home. It’s very easy to do, a great gift idea or fun for crafting night. Let’s get started with this super easy project.

Homemade Bottle Light Ideas Materials:

Homemade Bottle Light Ideas Instructions

Clean the bottle

Wash the bottle in hot soapy water, remove labels, and clean it to remove any stickers, residue, etc.

Put glass rocks into the bottle

Put your glass rocks inside your bottle.  Fill as high as you want, but save room for the next step.

Add water to the bottle

Fill your bottle with water – almost all the way to the top. Save room for the light.  Here is about how full I filled my bottle.

Add your light source

Pull the cork off your rechargeable light to expose the USB and charge your light.

Once fully charged, place your light in your bottle.  Twist the light when you are ready to turn it on.

Enjoy the ambiance your glowing light creates.
