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.

[@IsaacAlexanderDIY]

Unfortunately, I tried both Elmers glue and food dye as well as mod podge and food dye and tried it on several bottles, and it was very disappointing with how it came out.

[@yourfavouritehydra]

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.

[@Stephanie818]

That's exactly what I was thinking! Might look better too.

[@amilan409]

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

[@georgegcorley]

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! ❤️ 💚

[@IsaacAlexanderDIY]

Thank you so much for this awesome comment!! I’m so ready for Christmas ! 🎅🏼

[@flyrawd]

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.

[@IsaacAlexanderDIY]

Haha nooooo watch more of my vids !

[@SomeonesSomeone322]

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 !

[@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.

[@thishappyhousewife9341]

You could use foam board for the plug end and prongs as well instead of wood.

[@Queen.of.h_arts]

The Dollar tree has foam coolers that includes top and bottom!!

[@fuzzyporcupine181]

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

[@sandiebersohl9759]

Use a dremel instead of heat!! Much easier and safer.

[@TheREDNAVE]

[@IsaacAlexanderDIY]

Haha thanks for this awesome checklist of compliments !

[@FullRythym]

I feel like a hole saw and a miter saw might have been an easier way to cut the bottles. You could use a vice on the nozzle while cutting the bottom so it doesn't move, and then cut the nozzle off very slowly on the miter saw. This would keep from creating so many fumes as well.

[@dakotawest3977]

I agree wholeheartedly! Much easier. Very cool decorations! Best of the plug doesnt even get plugged in & you have electricity!😎👍

[@chandhan74]

Can’t be good for the environment either.

[@knoxtn7445]

Or box cutter. Lol

[@myfrontporchartcompany5729]

Reusing an old green water hose might work for the ‘cord’ as well

[@IsaacAlexanderDIY]

Thank you so much for this tip! 🎄

[@jimhood1127]

I used liquid sandpaper, poured it inside rolled it around and let it sit 5 mins or so and let it dry. I bought fabric paint from Walmart. Poured it in, diluted with a bit of water and swirled it. I let the excess drip out.

[@lynnpearce1902]

Add glitter to it

[@lr6844]

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

[@IsaacAlexanderDIY]

Thank you so much, appreciate you supporting me and watching my channel! You’re the best grandma from Texas I’ve ever met. These light strings are definitely a labor of love, so it’s definitely not easy, but I think you can do it! I’ll be here if you need any help. If you have a Facebook, you can send me pictures on there, just search “Isaac Alexander DIY“ on Facebook.

[@leslielegrand728]

Alcohol inks, they are readily available at craft stores and Amazon. They adhere to plastic well and dry really quickly

[@IsaacAlexanderDIY]

Thanks 😊

[@angelat503]

7-up bottles are green so you could have use those and I think sunkiss is orange. Save time on painting and money!

[@debbyball8201]

Sunkist, the bottle is clear, and the soda is orange.

[@TheWanderingWife]

You need to use alcohol ink. It’s very concentrated, so you water it down some. It stains ANYTHING, including kitchen linoleum. (Ask me how I know.) You’ll find it in craft stores.

[@IsaacAlexanderDIY]

Thank you so much !

[@JennNofficial]

Having these would make you feel like a toy in Toy Story for sure

[@marshanotmarcia7433]

A $1 store paper towel rack can hold the bottle and then you don’t have to hold it…. Sincerely, the woman who’s arm gets more paint than the item being created.. 😂😂😂

[@IsaacAlexanderDIY]

This is an amazing hack! Thank you so much

[@kaleadreamaremylife7688]

For the bottles you can use stained glass spray paint, it’s vibrant colors but sheer

[@IsaacAlexanderDIY]

Thank you so much for this tip! 🎄

[@user-bk6eb7hg1z]

I cut my bottles with hacksaw and hole saw. Put neck of bottle in vise or some holding device and use hack saw. The hole saw can be sized for the size of bulb or socket used. No smell or fumes and done indoors.

[@annahojmd]

Maybe, ¿Mod Podge with a bit of ink or acrylic mixed in? (When it dries it could be semi clear looking)

[@lolareina7965]

"Aint no body got time for that!" But it is cute.

[@GoreGirlFX]

LOVE that you credited the OG creator. Nice tutorial Isaac!

[@IsaacAlexanderDIY]

I realized too late that it was actually Ken Wingard who did it first 6 years ago. You can use google to see Ken Wingard’s DIY Giant Holiday Bells - Hallmark Channel.

[@GoreGirlFX]

@@IsaacAlexanderDIY Thank you, I will do that!!

[@melissaavendano7354]

Im LOVING these giant lights!!! I can’t believe you made them!!! They look sooo Amazing!!! 😍💙

[@IsaacAlexanderDIY]

Thank you!! 😊

[@kikihammond5326]

use spray on adhesive and light gel acetate, its what lighting designers use on lights to get colors for stages, apply to the outside of the bottles.

[@IsaacAlexanderDIY]

Thank you so much for this tip! 🎄

[@603VIL]

These lights are truly representative of Christmas magic. They light up without even being plugged in...lol. Great work! I especially liked your attention to calling out safety concerns for each step. As far as painting the bottles goes, you might try mixing clear school glue with food coloring and water until you have a thinned out consistently you're happy with. The food coloring will bond to the glue and once the glue dries, you should be left with a translucent pigment. Spraying it your way will be much quicker still, but if you're dead set on the original method, this might work.

[@shayinla1942]

Wouldn’t the glue come off if they’re used outside?

[@dianeladico1769]

@@shayinla1942 I think the glue goes inside the bottle.

[@IsaacAlexanderDIY]

Originally, I had tried mod podge with food coloring, and Elmers glue with food coloring, and both of them were such a huge disappointment that I had to start over. Even after they had dried, it was very bad overall.

[@murillofabris2043]

Hello, I have just made this lights based on your tutorial.. It look great!!! Some tips I learnt while doing so.. I painted the insulation foam with a mixture of acrylic paint and white glue, makes it flexible and black instead of green to match the black bin for the plug and to cover the duck tape connecting the tubes For the lights, i used spray paint, doesn't matter how many times you try it will not look even, so you better get used to the patched look lol I did not need to use any zip tie as I glued everything don with hot glue and duck tape.. I did not need a hot knife, I use a stanley knife to cut the entire bottom off and a hacksaw for the neck all in all I spent about 200 dollars to make it ( I am from Sweden, everything here is more expensive ). Next project, your giant nutcrackers!! Tack!

[@user-zi6yx8uu1s]

Did you use foam instead of the rubber insulation tubes?

[@JayofallTrades]

This would make me feel like I'm in the Christmas scene of toy story with the lights.

[@anthonyfreeman5367]

Nice idea, id just use a hole saw on a cordless drill though to do the holes in the bottles.

[@suzetteedwards7956]

And the holes in the plug prongs

[@ToughLoveRecords]

For color - use stage gels. They're just flexible plastic sheets that generally come in perfect squares and they can withstand fairly high temperatures (commonly used before theaters switched to LED lights)

[@lynnpearce1902]

and use a heat gun to get them to stick

[@christinadunn6802]

You can seal the pipe insulation pieces together with a heat gun or hot enough hair dryer

[@lorismith9102]

You could tint acrylic paint with mod podge or school glue. Or you could use epoxy tinted with pigments. And im not sure that i wouldn't put my paint in the bottle and rotate the bottle until covered before cutting. You wouldn't have anything to clean except a funnel

[@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!😮

[@ericklassen742]

Use a hole saw on your cordless drill. They come in all sizes. Same with the plastic cups but use a wooden backer board to stabilize the soft plastic cup. AND do the waste basket/plug the same way. No smoke/fumes. Fast! Before cutting off the neck, mount the bottle on the drill (use a dowel and some tape. It's just temporary) and rotate the bottle at any speed while spraying the paint. You have some great family projects here. Thanks!

[@GazelleCreativeStudio]

What the heck? wow so cool! Anyway, I don't know how the creator did the original lights, but to get that transparent coloring, yes you can use faux stain glass paint. What I have done myself in the past is to mix super glossy mod podge and add some drops of resin color ink (this worked extremely well on glass so I know this can work on plastic). Some people have added food coloring to the mod podge, but when dried, a little of the surface coloring comes off.

[@IsaacAlexanderDIY]

Oh gosh I need to try this!

[@Drawversecreations14]

This is giving me some serious Toy Story vibes lol

[@imonaroll9502]

Use a step bit for the hole on the bottom and a utility knife on the top. No fumes. For the color on the plastic you can buy clear coat and mix in a bit of green for green, red for red. Pretty straightforward. ❤

[@amberdawnstafford9401]

A crafting stained glass hack: watered modgepodge mixed with acrylic paint. Craft glue often works too, but I'm not sure how well it would cling. Pour it inside the bottle, turn to coat. Place on a rack so the excess can pour out.

[@IsaacAlexanderDIY]

I tried mod podge with food coloring and it was a total dud 😢

[@sarahl2481]

'a regular $10-15 hot knife is just not going to cut it' 😁 loving the unintentional pun! Just think of the possibilities of this! 🥰🥰

[@Jessiessie1]

My neighborhood goes crazy with Christmas decorations & each street has its own theme. Our street’s theme is “deer”. Do you have any suggestions that would be easy to store? I was thinking about backlit silhouettes made from MDF, but I’m not sure I’m that skilled with a jigsaw 😂

[@blakebodaciousFTW]

I feel like Isaac house smells like fall and Christmas all year round and I’m jealous

[@ceciliadeaton1173]

Carolina is not the original maker of this project. The real creator should be given credit. She posted it 6 years ago. And her name is Paige hemmis and she was on the home show when she showed it

[@IsaacAlexanderDIY]

Omg no way! I thought this was her original creation

[@ceciliadeaton1173]

that's okay I just thought it would be good to know I love watching your videos more than anything. You are so informative and show all the steps and you are so creative. 😊 also in the original video Paige said she used the stained glass spray paint to paint the bottles I'm glad that you mentioned that that didn't work for you. It's good to know because the stained glass paint is apparently pretty expensive. Thank you for your content Isaac! We all appreciate you sharing it with us

[@Braedenfish]

​@@IsaacAlexanderDIYguess u have to make a whole new video and credit the proper person and use alcohol inks and real coke bottles this time.... they have a pointy shape. Thank you for working out a tutorial! Pole noodles are seamless and Dollartree has green but getting cord inside would not be possible.

[@user-cq7vb2du2x]

@Braedenfish you could split the pool noodles vertically, insert wires, and close with hot glue and a longer term glue to seal the noodles. Hot glue alone won’t stand up to the heat in Texas, especially while storing in summer. I had a wreath I made with Christmas ornaments. The hot glue melted during off season storage, and most of the ornaments fell off.

[@mneraasen224]

I can’t find where she made them, do you have a link?

[@glendamarriott4654]

She probably used unicorn SPIT for coloring the lights…it is waterproof when sealed

[@glorygloryholeallelujah]

That was the product I immediately thought of too! Even if it isn’t what the OG creator used-I bet it would work well!❤

[@drewtravels4451]

You dont know how happy i am you posted this!! I saw carolina’s video a week ago and i bought all of the supplies to make this except for the paint because i was worried about it not adhering. You definitely saved my wallet lol.

[@IsaacAlexanderDIY]

Bro, you do not know the trouble I went through with the paint. Literally, that was the hardest part of this entire project. I tried so many times to figure out what she used and dozens and dozens of people kept asking for the name of the paint, but we weren’t getting any direct answers. The paint I used is not the paint she used so it’s going to look differently. I so wish I could have figured out what she used but I think it may not be available in the United States.

[@sierranovember2479]

@@IsaacAlexanderDIYI think iDye Poly ink dye would stain the plastic. Just heat mix it with water, heat it up on the stove and submerge the bottles. I plan on making this and that’s how I’ll be staining the plastic bottles. Great DIY thank you!

[@IsaacAlexanderDIY]

@@sierranovember2479 please tell me if this works for you! Sounds easier

[@Theshortyism]

Alcohol ink would work well and be beautiful. You could even blend colours for an unusual effect.

[@Gambizoid]

It would be awesome to use this with the 12 ft tall Home Depot skeleton!

[@riche.9990]

I think its better if you skip plug prongs and make a giant outlet and make it looks like its actually plugged in. That would make it more cooler and realistic. Its just a suggestion. You really did awesome here. Really cool. Thanks for sharing..

[@JenniferBowman-hu7wm]

Elmers clear glue and acrylic paint mixed, adheres to plastic, I've seen it used to male faux stained glass...might work for this

[@Fierriel]

I need to know how you store decorations out of season.

[@IsaacAlexanderDIY]

I built two large sheds, I have a tall deck that provides storage space underneath it (20ft x 10ft), a walk-in crawlspace, and an offsite large unit

[@Heyheyrayeraye]

You can make plastic look exactly like stained glass by combining glossy Mod Podge with food coloring. Iit leaves the plastic a lot more transparent than paint. It's all too opaque for the "glass" effect.

[@IsaacAlexanderDIY]

I did exactly that. Originally I painted 12 bottles from the inside with mod podge and food coloring and allowed them to dry, only to realize that it did not work, and the color was runny and awful. I had to start from scratch.

The way that you get the plastic bottles to take on the color you want and be translucent you need to go over the outside lightly with sandpaper or something abrasive then get mod podge that dries clear mix your color in it then apply and let dry

[@IsaacAlexanderDIY]

I tried mod podge and food coloring originally and painted 12 bottles with it, only to be extremely disappointed with how bad it looked 24 hours later. Had to start over

[@moyerchronicles7631]

@@IsaacAlexanderDIY did you got the bottles with something abrasive prior to?

@@moyerchronicles7631 no, I used the mixture on the inside of the bottles. This is an outdoor display I made, mod podge is not waterproof or weather resistant so if I painted the outside of the bottles, it would wash off with the first rain or snow.

I adore this idea! Amazing if your doing a shrunken down Nutcracker ballet theme or just an oversized theme.

But that is a minor thing. I'll have to make this sometime. Thanks for the totorial!
