Homemade gift

I don't know why I don't think to take pics of the making of process of these things I do. LOL
But here's a bottle that I made for part of my Pirate's christmas gift.
I bought a diamond tip glass bit and drilled a hole into the back of the bottle, and then used a string of mini lights. (had to cut the female end of the lights off as it was a double ended strand) and capped that end off. When I fed the lights through, I pulled that capped end out of the neck of the bottle and then re-pushed the lights down into the bottle. They sat much nicer, and I was able to use the  x-crossed cap inside the neck to wrap the capped end of the lights into, so you won't see the cap. Replaced the screw on cap.

I then wrapped the bottom of the cord and used that to plug the hole. This way the cut glass doesn't chaff the cord, and the lights don't pull back outside the bottle.

I think its rather cute and a fun way to use up the bottles.
I have more ideas for the next one already!
