This is the coolest looking lamp i ve ever had. It's quite simple to make. However, you have to be very careful when cutting the bottle
All you need is
- an empty whiskey bottle
- a yarn
- acetone
- a lighter
- a pot of cold water
- a bulb fitting
Cut the Bottle

1. Be careful!
2. soak the yarn in acetone
3. wind the soaked yarn round the bottle's bottom
4. light it up and spin the bottle
5. you will hear the glass breaking, now cool down the bottle in a pot of water
