Could we see pictures with the lights? I love this idea. Unfortunately I have no one to do all that drilling, etc.

This is genious and so pretty! Thanks for sharing. You must have canvassed all your neighbors for empty wine bottles. If you were drinking that much, you be too drunk to make something so unique, useful and great looking too. A trifecta!

I thought I was posting under comments. Sorry.

Well in that case, houses shouldn't have windows. Kids can throw balls through any plate glass window. Let's focus on how creative and pretty it is! :-)

Most wine bottle glass is thicker than window glass. People have glass enclosed porches/sunrooms. Same thing, it breaks you replace.

Remove the bar holding the bottles and replace. :o)

Take a good look at the post they really are pretty clear about how to do each step and what to use. Blessing to you and good wishes with your project. :>)

Was curious if freezing weather affected the bottles.

Beth Linton, I would love to see your finished project with the lights at night!

Oh good! Thank you -just got my first 10 bottles done!!

What drill bit did you use? Thank you

I would suggest you do the experiment and TRY to start a fire with a colored wine bottle.

The bottles look like they are packed in there. It's hard to tell from the angle of the picture though.

Good question

You can just add different sizes of bottles!!! Wine bottles is just the starter idea💓💓💓

a 3/4" inch diamond tipped drill bit

Ask neighbors or a bar for the empty bottles.

I have many left over from a wedding. Care to purchase?

I am quite sure that if you ask some bars, restaurants to save the bottles for you( provided that you are diligent about picking them up regularly) they would do this. They themselves must get rid of them. Also a recycling depot may have bottles. Bon chanson!

I bought 64 bottles from Dollar tree. They have all different shapes and colors. They sell out quick so look for them early next spring.

Metal rods were used top, bottom, one metal rod per column. Unless there is severe hail or flying rocks, wind shouldn't be a problem.

There are "doughnuts" that can be purchased to add to water to prevent mosquito breeding. One can break the doughnut into pieces, or cut if you need a small piece as for a bottle. These pieces could be put into the bottles with the dimples in the event of water standing in the bottom. The doughnuts can be used even in bird baths as they are not harmful to wildlife.

Holes have been drilled into the bottom of the bottles.....so water can’t stand.

Not all bottles have a dimple bottom. Those that do place in an upright position. Use flat bottom ones for the upside down.

Serious question - how big a hole did you drill? It sounds like the hole is bigger than the neck of the bottle. 🥺

That's crazy.. How did you cut your holes? A drill "drills" out a hole, it doesn't leave a circle behind.. I'm going to do this and have a bottle cutter, but I like the drilling idea better, but if I can cut a small hole in the bottom I may try that

Joanne said they used a 3/4" diamond tipped drill bit. Drilling should leave glass bits which is why you need to wash it. If you have a disc, the wrong kind of drill bit is being used. Ask your hardware store to assist you.

I've started this project. The hole/bit size depends on the size of the rod you are going to use for the bottles. I am using a regular hand cordless drill/driver. One thing about the drilling: if there is no dimple in the bottom of the bottle, start your drill at an angle, then stand it up straight. That keeps it from skipping along the glass. Hope this helps.

I'm not sure as I haven't made this but couldn't use use the rubber hose washers - for your garden hose?
