Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Clean and dry the detergent bottle thoroughly.
2. Using a craft knife or scissors, carefully cut off the top handle part or any section to create an opening for the lights.
3. Drill or carefully poke small holes around the bottle to allow light to shine through (optional for a pattern effect).
4. If desired, paint the bottle with spray paint or acrylic paint and let it dry completely.
5. Insert the string lights or LED lamp inside the bottle, feeding the wire through the opening.
6. Secure the battery pack or power source outside the bottle using electrical tape or hot glue.
7. Decorate the exterior with ribbons, washi tape, or stickers to personalize your lamp.
