    School glue tinted with food dye. Roll it around the inside of the bottle. Turn bottle upside down so it drains. Takes a while to dry but after..looks like stained glass.

    You are totally getting me in the Christmas spirit with these first 2 tutorials! 🤩 What a unique project for the beginning of the “the hap-happiest season of all”! These giant Christmas lights are so festive and fun! 🎄 Isaac, I love the energy and enthusiasm you bring to each of your tutorials. You are obviously having fun, and the feeling is contagious. Thanks for sharing! ❤️ 💚

    Awesome ! .. i believe the insulation is essentially like pool noodles, in which case, if you blow a heat gun on the ends for just a second or 2, you can join the ends together without glue
  • Changed mine some I used pool noodles for the foam covering and solor lights so I didn’t have to plug it in and the paint for sun catchers from Walmart/dollar tree craft section so it’s light enough for color but let’s the sun in to charge the lights so excited how it looks in the yard getting ready for all the decorations and craft ideas
  • You could try liquid food colouring and mod podge like with the faux coloured glass. Just water it down enough to be able to swirl around the entire inside, let the excess drip out, let dry, and do another coat until you reach the desired opacity.
  • Coloring the bottles use a liquid floor wax (future floor wax) with drops of food coloring. Then they will look like Glass. Great video thank you !

    I am going to have to quit watching youtube. You are so addictive with your AMAZING creations! Thank you for being such a great inspiration.
  • @marigeobrien
    The trick to painting on plastic is to mix 1:4 ratio of Elmer's Glue (1 part glue / 4 parts paint) in the acrylic paint before you apply it. This makes the paint stick better and last longer. It may tint the color slightly but not enough to diminish the effect.

    Isaac ! Good grief, you did it again !!!! I love these lights and they look so adorable ! I am a 75 + year grandma and I am always looking for new things that I can do for the grandkids to enjoy. I am going to make a couple of these sets this week and put them by the pool area for Christmas. Our pool room is enclosed so weather will not affect them. You make so many cute things and up until now, I have only enjoyed watching the videos but this one has "lit me up" ! If I have the energy I might even try to make those Christmas ball decorations, too. I'll let you know how they turned out. I don't know if I can send photos but if I can, I will. You are so talented and thank you for sharing your crafting ! Grandma from Texas
  • Im LOVING these giant lights!!! I can’t believe you made them!!! They look sooo Amazing!!! 😍💙
  • @Honey-cl9oh
    I love giant decorations. Thank you for sharing.
  • @shesotoxxic
    SUPERB tutorial! Easy to follow and you make me feel confident that I could do it myself. I also love that you cover the fire hazard because I love this project, but my anxiety was thinking about the fire aspect. Can't wait to see what you do next!
  • @rpclance
    Appreciate your can/plug design with the inset wood. Exactly what I was gonna do.
  • @wendyganel3353
    I'm feeling a little overwhelmed by the process. Imagine how my husband will feel when I ask him to make these beautiful lights!😮
