How to make a tacky yet super-cool lamp out of an empty bottle! Perfect for a College student on a budget!
If you are a college student like me, you probably have a whole mantle of "Trophy's" that once happend to hold booze. Lets make use of those bottles...
Just a note.... I made this off of a whim without searching Instructables first.... I don't mean to steal anyone's thunder who made this before me, just thought I'd show you how I turned a tasty beverage into a lamp :)

For this instructable, you will need:
1.) A bottle of booze that is near and dear to your heart (presumably empty, otherwise you would probably be drinking instead of reading this). If you are not 21, you can instead make a night-light out of a Capri-sun or something... I don't know.
2.) A drill
3.) A "Make a Lamp Kit" (or if you are mechanically/electrically inclined you can use a socket and a power cord). The "Kit" is nice because they often include washers and rubber stoppers that make this work perfect for bottles.
4.) Packing tape
5.) Paint/paintbrush
6.) Dremel tool and various bits
7.) Glass/tile drill bits
8.) Wood bases
9.) Epoxy
10.) Lampshade
