Wine Bottle Lamp Making

Step 1: gather the necessary supplies - empty wine bottle, acetone, string, safety goggles, lighter, sink full of ice water and of course more wine for drinking. Oh yeah...innocent (drunk) bystanders to call for help if something goes awry. What could possibly go wrong when playing with fire and drinking? 

Step 2: This is the most important step. PUT THE SAFETY GOGGLES ON!!!

Step 3, 4, 5: Wrap the string around the bottle 5 times, tie off the ends and cut them down to the knot. Remove the string and soak in acetone. Put the string back on the bottle.

Step 6: Have your trusty assistant (who is not drunk) light the string on fire

Step 7: Rotate the bottle while the string burns. You cannot see the fire in this photo, but I promise it was there.

Step 8: Dunk bottle in the sink filled with ice water.
Step 9: Watch as nothing happens.

Step 10: Give up and return to drinking with your friends! Needless to say this looked much easier on YouTube. In the end we didn't have any success making a light fixture, but we had a hell of a time trying to make one!
