Wine Bottle Decorating Ideas
Brazilian mechanic Alfredo Moser (Alfredo Moser), who in 2002 came up with simple design light well from a plastic water bottle, is proud that he did not patent his invention. Thanks to Moser, such homemade lamps are now used in hundreds of thousands of homes in Tanzania, Bangladesh, Fiji, Argentina, India and the poor countries of the world, where people live in closets without windows and electricity.
The idea is extremely simple. A hole is drilled in the roof, where a 2-liter plastic bottle filled with water is hermetically inserted. Due to the refraction of rays in water, the bottle effectively scatters light indoors. 
Measurements showed that one two-liter bottle gives a luminous flux similar to a 40-60-watt incandescent lamp.
If you fill the joint with the roof with hardening silicone sealant, even during heavy rain not a drop leaks, assures Moser.
Unlike the enterprising Edison, the Brazilian inventor didn't make a dime from his light bulb. He still lives in a simple house and drives a 1974 car. But on the other hand, he has something to be proud of: light wells of this type are already massively installed in at least 15 countries around the world. Although the author himself could hardly have imagined such popularity of the simple proposed design, the fact remains. According to the director of the Phillippine charity MyShelter Foundation, by early next year, plastic water bottles will light up the homes of about a million people: “Alfredo Moser has changed the lives of a huge number of people, I think forever,” he says.
Master class on making a lamp from a plastic bottle. Even from two plastic bottles. Everything is done quite simply with your own hands. As a result, we get an interesting, original and one might say designer lamp.
We will need:
- 5 liter plastic bottle
- plastic shampoo bottle
- sealant
- wires
- metal tube
- bulb
- paint on glass
- polymer clay
These are the bottles we need. 
Cut off about half of the 5 liter bottle. 
From above, under the neck with a marker, we make six serifs. Equidistant, of course. 
From these serifs we draw lines vertically down. 
Next we need a drawing. These lamps were taken as a basis or idea. 
With we draw an approximately similar pattern on the bottle. Try to keep it symmetrical. 
Below, where the drawing ends, cut out the plastic along the outline of the drawing. 
Now, according to the marked drawing, we apply the sealant with thin lines. 
Below, where we just cut off the drawing along its contour, we also do not forget to go through the sealant. 
Let the sealant dry. After it is completely dry, cover it with silver or gold paint. We need to achieve a metal effect. 
Now it is desirable to fill the cavities with paint on glass. Use more than one or two colors. Use three or more colors. The lamp will look richer and brighter. 
Now cut off the neck of the bottle. We needed it for convenient application of sealant and paint. We held a bottle for him. 
Now let's start cutting a small bottle. 
But first, cut out an oval from plywood or thick plywood. 
We make a hole in the middle of it. And we take two caps from such a small bottle and also make holes in them. 
At the bottom of the bottle we make three holes in a line. Solder the lid to the bottom. The middle hole in the bottle and in the cap should match. 
We insert a hollow metal tube. 
We insert the bottle design into the oval. 
We fasten with a nut from below. 
To hide the traces of the connection, we cover everything with polymer clay. 
We cover everything with golden paint or any paint imitating metal. 
We fasten the bulb holder to the top of the metal tube. We pass the wires just through the tube.
We now return to the top of the lamp. From above, where the bottle had a neck, we make such a cap. 
In order for the upper part to rest on the lower one without additional fasteners, we make such a structure on the light bulb. 
Then this structure is inserted into the cap on top of the lamp. The photo shows the inside of the lamp. Because there is polymer clay, everything will harden, after a while.
