Hello, I am going to make these as presents for Christmas but I was wondering what size drill bit you recommend? There are various sizes so I’m not quite sure. Also, is there a way to drill the hole without buying a diamond drill bit? I have access to drill bits just not one specifically made for cutting glass. Thanks!

I make these wine bottle lamps and I found a company to buy 20 light strands in bulk. Priced at $2.75 each
in bulk of 36. 3 day shipping and no tax. #1-800-209-6122 or NoveltyLights.com
I don’t use the LED as makes the lamp to expensive to sell. I cover the bottle with material or decorative paper and decorate.
contact me with your email address and I can send a picture of a finished product. Sandy

Wow! This is awesome creation. Using LED xmas lights in a bottle of wine is a great idea for a decoration this christmas. Thank you for sharing.

You don’t actually say where to drill the hole…

We made these bottles without the decorations at the top. To avoid the look of the wires inside the glass, we smeared the entire bottle with ELmer’s glue, then doused the entire bottle with clear crystallized glitter. Work over a shoebox to capture and reuse the glitter. Wipe bottom rim and Dry on a piece of waxed paper.

You can also smear with glue, tear random pieces of top layer of a decorative napkin, adhere, then add glitter.
