One of the best things about an upcycling project is transforming something you already have into an object that's new, useful, and ideally beautiful. The downside of these projects is that if you're not particularly artistic, or don't want to fork out for craft supplies you'll only use once, they can seem a little out of reach. Sometimes a bit of smart shopping will pay off just as well as DIY skills, which is the case for this Hoide Wireless Bottle Lamp from Amazon that will turn any wine or spirit bottle into a table lamp, with no glass cutting or wiring knowledge required. 

The trick to the product is its base, which is shaped like a wine stopper, making it as simple as inserting into the neck of any empty bottle. The lamp itself is a cordless LED light that's recharged by USB. It offers touch-controlled dimming that can be changed to suit the occasion or your decor. The Hoide lamp has a 4.5/5 star rating, with 77% of customers giving it a 5-star review. Many love its visual appeal and versatility, with one reviewer calling them "ridiculously cute", and another saying "I love how this lamp can be used with just about any bottle. I change the bottle out all the time!"

The most common complaint among negative reviews is the short battery life, so this lamp is perhaps more suitable for creating ambience during dinner rather than using it as your main source of light. Either way, this Amazon find provides an easy way to repurpose any wine bottles with cool, eye-catching labels that you've held onto, and can even turn a special bottle of Champagne from an anniversary into a decorative memento.

There are plenty of options for this kind of lamp available online, allowing you to choose the perfect match for the bottle you want to revamp. As well as a wide variety of colors and shade styles (like these crystal-looking ONLYWIN Wireless Bottle Lamps), there are different attachment options. 

Rather than use a stopper insert, this WILIT Wireless Bottle Lamp fits over the top of a bottle neck, meaning you can use it on unopened bottles as well as empty ones — although you might not want to use it on a full bottle of expensive liquor, as exposure to light can shorten shelf life. The WILIT lamp is also a highly rated product on Amazon, with 81% of customers giving it 5 stars, and an overall score of 4.6/5. One customer called it a "must-buy", saying "the unique silicone adapter is genius." Another reviewer praised the quality, stating the lamps are "one of those purchases that feel way more expensive than they are." Battery life is a concern for some customers with this model as well, so keep that in mind when choosing where to place it.

If you're not a wine or spirit drinker, you don't need to feel left out. The WILIT lamp's adaptor fits onto smaller bottles, so you can make a lamp from your favorite beer or show off unique international soda bottles. You could also get creative, filling an empty bottle with water and food coloring or colored sand.
