Turn an ordinary bottle into a beautiful coastal table lamp with a lamp kit.
It's easy to Turn a Cool Coastal Style Bottle into a table lamp with a DIY bottle lamp kit, especially with the Cork Lamp Kits (Amazon) that slip right inside the bottle just like a cork does. With slip on lamp kits the cord will run on the outside of the bottle. If you want to hide the cord inside the bottle, you would have to get a Lamp Socket Kit (Amazon) where the cord comes out on the bottom of the socket. This will require you to drill a hole into the glass bottle. Surely this would give you a clean look. You will need a glass drill bit in order to drill the hole.

Which Bottle Lamp Kit is right for you?
The simple clip the shade on the bulb kit is super easy, but the lampshade might sit too high on the bottle neck, depending on where you place the lamp. If you want the bottle lamp on a console table, you will probably see the bulb socket. If the lamp is on a low accent table, you should be fine and the socket is under the shade. If you have a spider lampshade you might want to consider a bottle lamp kit with a harp.
