Who needs to go buy store-bought lights?

First, we lined the inside neck of the bottles with some aluminum foil to direct the light downwards.

Remember to roll them with the shiny side on the inside.

Next, we put some of the thin string around the bottles to hang them.

Its also called a jug sling knot, but you could use anything else thatll hold the weight.

We dropped the lights into the bottles and taped over them.

Be sure to keep them close enough that the lights wires dont have too much stress on them.

Perfect for Christmas trees and wider-scale deployment!
