Fairy lights in a bottle. How?

The joys of Amaz.... shopping!!

It has certainly transformed the way we can shop. It must be a challenge sticking an independent shop on the high street. Unsold items must be a worry.

Urmstongran blimey, that was quick! Looks lovely x

Oh that’s SO pretty Pantglas!

I bought this before Christmas for €5 from Amigas de Casa who were selling them for charity here in Spain- one of the members husband did hundreds! He reckons all those airfix models he used to paint gave him the steady hand Urmstongran

Ta da!!

So pleased.

I’ve ordered them! I think at £8.99 you get a few sets.... If I set it up okay i’ll Post a photograph. Then make a few up as Christmas presents next year ha!

Thank you for the link, Grannylaine. I passed it on to DD; her partner had a special edition bottle of bourbon given to him for Christmas and the bottle is a lovely shape so she has her eye on it - said it would make a good lamp. Trouble is, he is doing dry January so she may have to wait some time!

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

Photos are easy to do henetha.

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!)

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

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.

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

.... 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

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

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

Here you go Urmstongran, this is the sort of thing you need

I’m having a bad day .... ?

Oh no!

It’s ME who’s WRONG‼️

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

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

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

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 think they’d work

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’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.
