Hmmm... I just finished making mine... sort of. I cut and decorated my bottles with twine, thread, and beads I already had around the house. I took apart an old ugly lamp and was going to use its cord and light, but it's not fitting or looking right. We only have ugly yellow bulbs and so I'm not sure what to put inside of them or how to attach the lights inside as mine will be hanging on the wall, not the ceiling. I cut mine too much and the light wouldn't sit in place. So now my bottles have the same amount of opening on each side.

Anyways, great instructable! Mine might have been a failed attempt, but it was fun and I guess I can use the bottles I made for something else. Thanks. :)

Very nice looking! I take it you're using the with a CF bulb or the like? You say 'energy saving' but not the type. I would think it would be best to avoid this though on an incandescent bulb as they get too hot.
