| Roost Pendants - recycled wine bottles. By the way, how cool is that wood-strip wall? It has given me a few ideas for walls in my home! |
I never forgot about the above image. And of course, I've seen other interpretations of the same principle and have my own.
I began cutting wine bottles about a year ago and have been using them for various projects (upcycling and repurposing them in cool ways.) See my previous posts on:

The bottle sat like that for about another year. Finally, with some free-time and motivation, I set to task - time to create a light!

| The original frosted-glass shade was nice and worked fine with the room, but I sure love the new sleek and simple look of the clear wine bottle! |

| A spiral filament vintage bulb was of course used for that extra coolness factor! |

| A clear glass wine bottle theme perhaps? |
If you have a similar tube-like armature light pendant or even one with a simple wire (with/without the chain), you'll be able to recreate this pendant light. The only other thing you will need is a cut wine bottle and snazzy light bulb (I recommend vintage Edison bulbs). Each application may be a bit different, but if you read how I secured my bottle to keep it straight, you'll be able to come up with ideas that will work for yours.

Super cool! I've yet to try my hand at making my own light but I sure want to! :)
