That looks lovely, well done:T:T:TSweetnSavvy wrote: »My first attempt at picture posting with tinypic so fingers crossed.
My Frexei table lamp (please ignore shade as I will change it).
I drilled through the very middle of the bottom with a glass bit and the bottle has a lovely dimple in the edge that the flex fits through. It took ages and I've now decided that I wouldn't do that again but would go out the back instead. You can just see the flex in the bottle at certain angles and I'm debating taking it apart again and putting a silver tube (like that you use to cover radiator pipes) down the middle with flex running through. I might also remove label and put something else there. The world is my oyster (I'm getting carried away now hehe).
I've plenty more bottles to do, well I will have, so any ideas welcome.

I managed to get the ATM spits today too.....thanks for the heads up Elaine but I have plenty now. I didn't dare stand and get any more as I thought I was starting to look suspicious.
From memory, don't carry a load arounfd in your wallet. The last time I did the postcodes wore off and were unusable. I think the ink tends to rub off
