DIY Project: How to Make a Light Fixture Using Coke Bottles

This is an easy Coke Bottles light fixture cover you can make out of simple plywood and some empty glass Coca Cola bottles. This is the perfect project for someone who loves to collect all things Coca Cola and I know there are quite a few of you out there.

This simple DIY home improvement raft project is an affordable updated light fixture whether you rent or own. Simply build this Coca Cola light fixture cover and install it over existing light fixtures with L brackets. It only makes two small holes in the wall, which can easily be patched when you move out.

The best feature of this affordable Coca Cola glass bottle light fixture is that you don't have to do any electrical work. It should cost you about $30 or less, especially if you can find glass Coca Cola bottles for free. You can also make this easy project in one day in only a few hours. It will take longer for the paint to dry then to actually make the light fixture.

For a vintage look try making this simple light fixture with vintage Coca Cola glass bottles from all the different years.

To Make a Coca Cola Glass Bottle light Fixture You Will Need:

4 Pieces of Plywood (cut to size, recommendations to follow)

Coca Cola Glass Bottles (About 10 to 20, depending on length of light fixture)

Epoxy Glue

White Semi Gloss Paint

Colorful Paints (Optional)

6 L Brackets

The first step to making this affordable Coke bottle light fixture is to measure the existing light fixture you are going to cover. I intend to cover my Over the sink kitchen light fixture. It measures 36 inches long, 5 inches tall, and 4 inches deep.

Now, you are going to need four pieces of plywood. You are making a box without a front or back. I bought a 2X10 piece of pine at Home Depot for this project. I cut two pieces 40 inches long and two pieces 7 inches long. This will give me two pieces for the top and bottom that are slightly longer than my light fixture. The two smaller pieces are 7 inches long, which will make the sides of the box slightly deeper than the existing light fixture.
