On Monday we shared some beautiful photos of some of our prized (and loved!) bottle Lamps that are handmade in house. In this post, we share a behind-the-scenes look at how these are made in our store.

Step 1: Drill, drill, drill! 

Bottle and Drill

Our industrial drilling device creates a central hole that will fit the electrical rod perfectly.

Step 2: Insert the rod into the hole. This rod will house the electrical chord.

Step 3: The final stage is to connect the bottle to the base. The chord will filter down through the base. At this point we are ready for the lighting components – the socket fixtures, underwriter’s knot, harp pieces, and all of that good stuff!

We enjoy creating bottle lamps for our customer, and love seeing the array of bottles that arrive in our shop ready to be made into a lamp. These are great conversation pieces for a living room or office. and serve as a reminder for a special occasion or event.
