Vintage marbles, discarded Patron bottles and light from darkness!



  Repurposed some Patron bottles into oil lamps!
... had done the one on the right a few years back
and decided to make use of some vintage marbles


washed my vintage marbles ...
and voilà !




with fiberglass wicks
and brass and ceramic wick holders

 just add WOLFORD Lamp Oil! 
... waiting for my order to arrive

 still need to embellish the necks
 of these beautiful bottles
 and WHO drank all that Patron?
... save YOUR bottles for me!

 happy marbles have a new purpose!

I'll list them in my ETSY shop when they are all done!

"... let light shine out of darkness..."
2 Corinthians 4:6

    1. Thx Annie! Glad you like them. 1/8" fiberglass wick ... bought them on line (2 different places, candlelightmessages.com and Southern Lamp Supply) and I had to insert the wick into the wick holder myself ... that was tricky! Have a great week!

  2. Where did you purchase the wick holders? Are they a certain size?
