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 ! 🎅🏼

[@annettegiles4337]

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.

[@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

[@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.

[@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.

[@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.

[@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 !

[@TraciLMiller]

the cutest craft I have ever seen! Bravo!

[@Romantico1962]

Great job and awesome creativity doesn't matter who got the idea first you did a super fun creation and I love it ❤

[@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

[@katehanson-williams1691]

Wow! This is the first of your videos that I've ever seen and you teach so well! Thank you for showing us! Such a fun idea!

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

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.

[@NightmareFoundry]

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

[@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. ❤

[@shabbybeauties58]

JUST ANOTHER FABULOUS JOB!!!! Love watching your videos, you are so creative and innovative!! Thank you Isaac!! 🙏🥰👏😉

[@IsaacAlexanderDIY]

Thanks so much! 😊

[@shabbybeauties58]

@@IsaacAlexanderDIY You’re very welcome. 🥰🙏😉

[@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

[@c0pyimitati0n]

So sick!!! I think im gonna make this except im going to use RGB LED bulbs so i can change each light to the color it's supposed to be, as well as have effects. But seriously, BRAVO! That plug is so cute

[@Whatworksthisworks]

❤🧡💛💚💙💜Isaac, you are the best DIYer. Thank you for taking so much time to figure out the best ways to execute these fabulous decorations. They may be a little more expensive, but you show how to make very unique items for a personal display. ❤🧡💛💚💙💜

[@IsaacAlexanderDIY]

Thank you so much for this great comment! I’m glad you like it and glad that I can inspire

[@christinadunn6802]

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

[@will0127]

Awesome content. Currently doing this build with govee lights 50ft srand 25 bulbs. Cant wait for the finished project.

[@IsaacAlexanderDIY]

Haha thanks for this awesome checklist of compliments !

[@annahojmd]

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

[@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! 🥰🥰

[@RonPeterson-g1n]

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.

[@juliofeliciano6911]

Food coloring and elemers glue, would give the stained glass look. It's how I made faux glass windows for the Nintendo theme cat room.

[@MissMala]

These are really cool! Kudos on the time and work you put into making these 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

[@olsipire]

Absolutely beautiful!!! The creation, the colors, the explanation, everything is on point! They’re just like the classic Christmas lights, I love it! Your tutorials have become a very important part of Christmas Joy! Thank you!

[@IsaacAlexanderDIY]

Thank you so much! ☺️

[@huskywolfpop]

I love your creativity. Thank you. Please don’t stop making videos! I look forward to them all the time!

[@IsaacAlexanderDIY]

Thank you! Will do!

[@lolareina7965]

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

[@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

[@horses2by]

Well done, that Christmas 🎅 decoration is amazing 🤩

[@IsaacAlexanderDIY]

Thank you 🤗

[@barbied.5932]

Love your crazy imagination guy! Thanks for sharing!

[@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.

[@CindyPhillips-z7j]

@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?

[@mary27578]

Absolutely magical!!!!

[@IsaacAlexanderDIY]

Thank you so much !

[@rpclance]

Appreciate your can/plug design with the inset wood. Exactly what I was gonna do.

This is so cute and would be perfect for a "Candy Land Christmas"!! Thank you so much for the inspiration

[@IsaacAlexanderDIY]

You’re very welcome

[@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

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

This looks like such a fun project! Your results always astound me. Thanks you for the meticulous safety details. Some of us absolutely need that spelled out (like me). I’d just get excited about the project and not realize I was breathing poison until I became sick or something. I hope your channel grows HUGE! Love the little Olive book, too.

[@leslielegrand728]

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

[@IsaacAlexanderDIY]

Thanks 😊

[@Vickylaursen]

how would you apply this to the pop bottle? just brush it on directly?

[@leslielegrand728]

@@Vickylaursen yes

[@leslielegrand728]

You do have to work quickly as they dry almost immediately

[@TheSkellingtonGhost]

I adore this idea! Amazing if your doing a shrunken down Nutcracker ballet theme or just an oversized theme. One minor thing that is odd to me but can easily be modified is the lights being on while the huge end is a male plug. Would make more since giving the female plug shown if the lights are on. But that is a minor thing. I'll have to make this sometime. Thanks for the totorial!

[@IsaacAlexanderDIY]

I hadn’t thought of that, I think it’s just meant to be more a wow factor but you’re right, i think it should be a female end

[@michellemunoz71023]

I absolutely love this idea! 😃 I've already asked my husband to make one for us. Thank you so much for this video. 😊

[@IsaacAlexanderDIY]

You are so welcome!

[@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 😂

[@Goland454]

I have no skills but I need these in my life. So a hot knife & a glue gun & oh my gosh I’m stoked. 🙋🏽‍♀️🔥😎😊

[@renaerickson4190]

I used a box cutter! Or utility knife and scissors to cut the bottle, caps which is much safer and easier! And acrylic paint! With glue should work

[@THEAMAZINGGREATCATSBY]

I'd try a hot air gun on the top to close the hole where the cap was plastic is easy to mold together if hot enough

[@missunderstoodmal1700]

Oh my goodness! Im gonna have to theme a Christmas around giant decore. So much fun!

[@IsaacAlexanderDIY]

You should!

[@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 😢

[@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

[@sidraMPatty]

Did i miss something? How is this powered? Is there some battery pack in the waste basket? How long does it last?

[@IsaacAlexanderDIY]

It’s connected with an extension cord on the opposite end, not the side that the trash bin is attached to. I used an extension cord. You just can’t see it because it’s hidden underneath the rug.

[@colleenscottcarmello5103]

*** Where are you going to use these.. I think they would look great outside the home, partially drapped up the house with most of it laying on the ground, as if a person was decorating the house but didn't finish yet.. They turned out great!! Nice job!

[@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

[@CajunPride777]

Wow! Love it! Super cool. You could use Tim Holtz alcohol inks. They will stain just about anything including plastic. He has a variety of colors.

[@IsaacAlexanderDIY]

Thanks for this tip!

[@ddressing]

Nice video, and I haven't read all of the comments, but have some suggestions and pardon any duplicates. Translucent spray paint might be an option for adding color to the clear plastic and maximizing throughput of the light---not sure how much it would mask the the lightbulb & fixture inside though, especially if you go with suggestion #2, which is to get light receptacle extenders to get the bulbs a little further into the bottles to light them them up a bit more end-to-end. Lastly, I'd suggest placing the "string" into the plug so you can glue it from both sides, then add your plug end. Again, thanks for sharing your project with us.

[@IsaacAlexanderDIY]

Thank you so much for this tip! 🎄

[@FabriceBRAULT-k4l]

Bonsoir Isaac, cette créativité débordante que vous avez, magnifique. C'est très important qu'elle jaillisse, qu'elle vive cette créativité, merci beaucoup Isaac. Respect.

[@IsaacAlexanderDIY]

Un grand merci !

[@lesimages3dclic]

Awesome project, congrats. That reminded me of those old TV series or movies about giants that included oversized props. Well, Isaac, seeing you with those huge Christmas lights made you look like you were a living action figure, lol. Well, can you imagine the weird situation if you'd actually be surrounded by giant stuff on a Christmas morning? A giant boy, seeing you, may think you are some kind of toy. So in the blink of an eye, you'd feel a giant boy's hand coiling around you, being lifted and carried around. Being handheld, you'd have to try to convince the boy that you are not a toy. But for him, you'd be the coolest action figure he ever got as a Christmas present lol. Anyway, it's still a great project that looks very amusing to make!

[@QueenAlexandrae]

Please, where did you plug-in?

[@QueenAlexandrae]

I saw on Instagram, the other end is connected to power

[@Theshortyism]

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

[@llPAIGEll]

I was thinking the same thing

Krylon sea glass paint sticks to plastic!

[@debbiesueillinois]

Can you use this outside, also the last part you put into the green plug was that end sealed on the light strand are what, great video 👍 and 🔔

[@IsaacAlexanderDIY]

The plug is on the opposite end, not on the end with the trashcan. I used an extension cord to power it, it’s just hidden underneath the rug.

[@brittanyhillegonds5741]

My biggest concern is the spray paint flaking over time outside, due to the flexibility of the plastic. I really want to make these!

[@IsaacAlexanderDIY]

I hope it doesn’t flake

[@S1ND0600Z1]

Mine keeps flaking off my noodles! I think I’m gonna try coating glue over and spray over it again. Wish me luck! This is taking a lot longer than I thought it would. Kinda Annoying

[@lynnpearce1902]

Why not just use a Exacto knife?

[@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.

For the paint you can mix food coloring with modge podge and water and mix it around the inside! More cost effective too!☺️

[@IsaacAlexanderDIY]

Girl! If you could only see my frustration when I used food coloring and modge podge. Lol I have about 15 minutes worth of footage that I had to throw away because of how bad it turned out LMAO It seems like it would work great on small ornaments or small glass balls, but it was just not adhering to the inside of the bottles

These are awesome!! I have a few tips that might come in handy though instead of duct tape and zip ties to hold the foam together use contact cement it's flexible and will permanently bond it.
