Plastic bottles and more plastic bottles!

You will save 85 plastic bottles from your backyard / landfill and create a stunning floor and hanging lamp. You will store all the left overs from making this inside the big water bottle which will defuse the CFL lightbulb thus creating no waste!

Step 1 What do you need?

84 plastic bottles (go for the bottles with the same size head) 1 big water bottle (Kentwood) coat hanger, 2 zip ties, 1 lamp cord, 1 lamp socket, 1 CFL lightbulb, masking tape, dremel with a cut off wheel and small drill bit (size for the coat hanger wire) , marker pen, hot glue gun, sand paper, bbq grill wire cleaner brush, bucket (for the left over water from the bottles) drill with a 1 flat wood bit. Safety goggles. Wire snippers.

This is pretty good, my only problem is the fact that you stuffed the labels back into the bottles. It just looks sort of tacky to me. It would be pretty neat to use some very very light spray-paint, to give everything a frosted look. It would also help to diffuse the light.

I agree about the labels. If there weren't any labels, it would look great!

You could put the labels into the big water bottle. The ideal is to have no waste.

great project. alo of steps could have been consolidated in to 1 step with mulitple pictures... clicking the next button every time and waiting for it to load is a little un-user-friendly. BUT the lamp is awesome!
