The jars filled with "string lights" are so pretty. How do they get electricity?

There are solar powered,and battery operated lights if there is no access to electricity.

Most of the string light projects are just placed near an outlet and you leave enough of the string out so you can plug them in. Some, as the woman above posted are battery operated.

A glass drill bit can be use to put a hole in the bottle so that an electric strand can be inserted and the plug is still on the outside of the bottle. The process is very easy to do. Put glass under water where bit can reach the area you want to drill then push the bit against the glass for about 5 second intervals allowing the glass and bit to cool off in-between each push of the drill. Push for 5 seconds, release for 1 second and repeat. Bits can be purchased on line through Rio Grand Jewelry out of New Mexico.

I found a really good tutorial on Pinterest. Also, other good solar light ideas here: http://www.hometalk.com/b/2034682/solar-light-sensations?utm_source=editor&utm_medium=pinterest&utm_campaign=featured

Use battery powered string lights, preferably with a timer.

If they don't have a battery or plug-in, they're solar powered, meaning the sun powers them.
