Wine Bottle Lamp

Inspired by bumpus' Light Bulb Lamp, I decided to set out and make a lamp out of a wine bottle, perfect for a fancy candle-lit dinner.

(Did I mention that it only cost me $1.74 to make?)

*I should note that I started writing this instructable nearly a year ago, and am only finally publishing it now. If anyone would like to make their own Wine Bottle Lamp and submit pictures of it alight for me to use in the last step, that would be delightful.

Step 1 Materials

You will need the following ingredients and tools:

• Wine Bottle (and cork!)
• Lamp wick
• Fuel - I used torch fuel; kerosene and citronella oil should be fine too
• Toothpick
• Drill and 1/4" bit
• Dremel

Awesome. I don't recommend the water thing.

Forgot to say if it fell over

I think it still wouldn't cause any harm.. Unless the glass breaks it could do something like that.

But I'm sure gonna use the water in it because it's brilliant :D

I made this a year ago and just published it - I don't have any pictures of it lit :-/ Hopefully someone might post a picture of a lit lamp that I could use?

I might be able to do this with meths, but you don't really see the flame. I've got some 2-stroke mix in the shed, but that would be too sooty. :( L
