Fairy lights in a bottle. How?

Nope - anything complicated, electrical and or technical gives me the heebie jeebies. I've kept out two lots of fairy lights and draped them (artistically of course) over a couple of mirrors and book shelves. WE need all the light we can get . If anyone comes up with a good idea Urmstongran, I'll have a try, it sounds lovely

You buy lights on a battery specially for bottles

I bought some tiny lights in Tesco sale they are battery fed and would easily fit in a bottle. I’ll post a pic in a sec.

Urmstongran you can but the micro lights and they have a little cork shaped battery pack, they slip/sit inside the neck of the bottle.

Have a look on Amazon/Ebay . think they have them across at Oswaltwistle mills near me.

I would buy from reputable place.they sell the bottle in our £1 shop complete with the lights.But not sure about he quality of the lights if you wanted to put them in your own bottle.

You can buy tiny strings of lights attached to a rubber cork with tiny batteries. You should be able to find them quite easily on Amazon & I've seen them in most garden centres this year. Google bottle lights.

Ha! crossed a few posts here.....

I’d use the ones on a very thin clear wire. Thread then down into the neck of the bottle and tape the remaining wire to the back of the bottle and plug them in.

I did a table decoration with sand, driftwood, shells and lights. The battery was hidden in the sand, but the arrangement was always disturbed when turning the lights off and on.

I’m too scared to drill glass too so I got some small battery lights , dropped them in but kept the battery box on the outside hidden round the back ?

I think they’d work

Oh aren’t you all lovely responding so quickly?

Thanks tanith for the photo. That helps.

Also, I like the idea of seeing them on sale in a garden centre GrannyLaine as I rarely do Amazon and have never done eBay (not techie enough!).

I’m with you Iam64! Such a scaredy-cat.

We have a great battery charger for aa's. Charges in minutes.
Led lights are ok in containers

Iran has placed an $80million bounty on Donald Trump's head and threatened to attack the White House in response to the president's warning that any strike on American interests in the region will bring massive retaliation.

Bless you Jodie you’ve posted on the wrong thread - but thank you about my ‘ask a gran’ question on fairy lights.
?

Oh no!

It’s ME who’s WRONG‼️

I’m having a bad day .... ?

Aw sorry, I was hoping it would show a pic. Try this

Thank you! Soft not harsh white lights too. Looks perfect GrannyLaine I will order these and report back. Maybe with a photo!

Urmstongran It gave me a great laugh because I read it right to the end....

.... expecting to read you were doing an illuminated Trump in a Bottle!

And being a Northern lass, you will no doubt be familiar with that meaning

Mostly I do the same as Yorksherlass with the lights in tanith photo. This year I bought some proper cork top bottles lights from a garden centre but didn’t think they were bright for very long. Yesterday I looked at replacing the batteries but it would seem it’s cheaper to buy a whole new unit.

bradfordLass my erroneous post did seem fitting in a way ha!

My grand-daughter gave me some lights in a bottle and it's lovely. It's just an ordinary bottle which she decorated with some glitter etc., then a battery operated set of fairy lights
stuffed inside with the lead coming out of the neck of the bottle, hidden behind the bottle with the battery box and switch. She chose pink lights for me as it's my favourite colour.
I packed all my Christmas decorations away yesterday so can't add a photo. (I'm not sure how to anyway!)

If I get my lights into the nice bottle I plan to use it all year round in the bedroom.
