Wow,just wow. So I had all these wine bottles lying around and thought why recycle? I can make something. This isn’t going to work with that boxed wine we’ve been buying. Hhhmmmm…..
i’ll be serving turkey and ham at our holiday dinner and i was JUST wondering what would go well with our meal. question answered – a bottle filled with light *i understand that last week is a very good vintage*
Apparently after consuming the contents of this bottle, she decided to take up “crafting”. Hmmmmm. I think she would have been better off crying in the bathroom like the other girls.
Earlier this week, the rednecks next door set up ladders in the middle of the intersection, wrapped strings of Christmas lights around the electric wire that crosses our street, ran a cheap extension cord from the lights to their house, then plugged it in. Until I saw this bottled Christmas light, that was the stupidest thing I’ve ever seen during the holidays.
her bio-
“I love glass what else can I say. Why I have this strange fascination for it Im not sure. So I bought a kiln to make fancy things with glass. Well that hasnt worked out yet. But someday Ill make fancy…Now in the summer Im the same way with cement, how it feels and what it can make. So now I just have to figure out how to combine my 2 favorite past times.”
her past times are glass & CEMENT? mine are eating & watching tv
To recap the “creative process”:
• Drink a whole bottle of wine and peel off label
• stuff bottle with string o’lights
• glue crap on front
And I thought crap + more crap = just crap?
Another case of “I made this thing for myself, my friends told me it looked cool, so I decided to sell it”. They always seem to forget the sideways glances, rolled eyes, and giggles amongst said friends immediately before or after they said it looked cool.
I made one of these once. It looked worse than this one. Much worse. I didn’t know how to drill a hole in glass, so the cord came out of the top. It was a vase and it had fake flowers in it. I wish I still had it so I could sell it.
sadly, these sell really well at crap fairs…er, i mean “craft fairs”. *sigh*…i’m hanging up my artist’s hat and heading to micheals for supplies. who’s coming with me?!
Wino Christmas tree! This one isn’t quite right though…you’re supposed to put a dead tree branch in there to wrap the lights around, and hang one sad ornament from a branch…yes, I’ve made them…
if i had seen this 3 days ago, i would have thrown up in my mouth just a little bit… but after seeing the “mountain dew” bottle catastrophe, it doesn’t seem all that repulsive.
Hey – you can not only have such whimsical lighting in your house for the holidays, but you can also tell everyone “12 step program? I don’t need no stinking 12 step program!!”
Wow. Just…wow. I don’t know. See, this is where it messes me up. This lady has a kiln for glass. And from the look of the other things in her shop, she has read the instructions on how to use it. Not that she’s doing anything entirely skilled, but I’m willing to give her the benefit of the doubt and say she’s in the learning process. BUT THAT DOES NOT MEAN THAT IT’S OKAY TO DO THINGS LIKE THIS. Really. Save the crap for your own house, I don’t want it in mine.
@ #8 Rowan: Sure this will work with boxed wine. You just have to poke holes in the box first! I suggest borrowing #1′s silver sharpie, drwaing snowflakes on it and using that rusty nal that’s been rolling around in your junk drawer to poke random holes in the snowflake.
Oh god, someone’s going to see this and actually try it, I just know it.
I learned a couple of things from reading her description. 1) This item is MUCH BUSIER than I thought at first glance. Here, I just saw a glass container of miniature lights, when there’s apparently glass disc pictures and snowflakes and whatnot going on here. 2) The seller is either not a native English speaker, or was not yet fully sober when she wrote the copy.
Between the dead cat photoshopping, the little girl KKK, and now the christmas lights in the wine bottle- I feel like throwing myself in front of a bus. No- won’t do that. Self esteem kicks in via Pinot Grigio. YES!!! THATS THE ANSWER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It needs snowflakes… I have a silver sharpie… I can solve this problem!
December 18, 2009 at 9:45 am
It needs more booze, is what it needs.
December 18, 2009 at 9:46 am
This will go prefectly with my white painted mountain dew bottle!
December 18, 2009 at 9:46 am
Wow! Exactly what I need. A fire hazard in a bottle!! Don’t ask me how I know this, just trust me
December 18, 2009 at 9:51 am
Those lights are alot brighter then she is…….
December 18, 2009 at 9:55 am
If I got this I would definitely put a “I Got Fucked for Christmas” note in it and send it down the River.
December 18, 2009 at 9:57 am
I could never make one of these.
I only drink wine out of a box.

I think Dale Chihuly started this way.
December 18, 2009 at 10:10 am
It’s like you trapped the Christmas star and hoofed it in a liquor bottle! Perfect for the season!

If she can do this with a wine bottle, what could she do with all of our old pizza boxes?? Hmmm..

And this is also magical… wine bottle chimes! http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=34137284
One question though… doesn’t glass break when the wind bangs it against itself? Hmmmm…

December 18, 2009 at 10:18 am
The nicest thing I can think of to say is that at least it’s only twelve bucks.
December 18, 2009 at 10:20 am
@#19 Methusela: LOL, yes, and I’ve warned everyone not to drive or walk under that wire until after the holidays.
December 18, 2009 at 10:20 am
This is a cute little craft I would do with my kids. Since I have so many wine bottles around. Mommy’s a drunk. *hiccup* Thanks for the idea.

December 18, 2009 at 10:25 am
I hate some of my family just enough to send them this for christmas… I better get moving downing bottles of wine.
December 18, 2009 at 10:31 am
@#25 That Bead Girl: I’ll go with, I need some fun yarn for my gourd rattle, (and I think I have a coupon).
December 18, 2009 at 10:35 am
#25 and #27- Y’all head to the craft store for supplies, I’ll go to the liquor store for the essentials.
December 18, 2009 at 10:38 am
I’ll bring the mind-altering chemicals that lead to delusions of grandeur and good craft skills.
December 18, 2009 at 10:44 am
And don’t forget a stop at the dump for bowling balls.
December 18, 2009 at 10:46 am

now THIS is something i would like to try with Xmas lights…

December 18, 2009 at 11:12 am
All that crap in a bottle and no model ship inside as well? I feel cheated.
December 18, 2009 at 11:17 am
This may not be the best quality of these types, but I have seen some cool looking ones………and slumping glass is kind of fun!

Alright, I have a corkscrew, who has some Christmas lights?
December 18, 2009 at 4:54 pm
considering the turd casserole that helen has served us lately, this seems almost….normal.
ugly, but normal.
December 18, 2009 at 5:08 pm
uhhhh… and what are you supposed to do with this pile of crap?
Creative present for teacher? Interesting talking point for great aunt Maud? or my prefered option – dump it in the bin!
December 18, 2009 at 5:49 pm
Judging by the curly wire on the outside of the bottle, this easily could have been a contender for the Hanukkah advent calendar.
December 18, 2009 at 7:44 pm
I think college kids put shit like this together in their dorm room.
On a side note: I am selling plastic milk crates that I’ve placed wood planks on in my shop. One of a kind shelving unit. OOAK, people!
December 18, 2009 at 8:09 pm
Can it be recycled again? Or maybe composted? This is quite a gypsy dangler of a bottle.
I say throw it in the garbage and let it rest in pieces.
