This project proves you don’t need complicated tools to make something truly unique.

An unused faucet, a sturdy wood block, and a clear bottle are all you need to craft a lamp that looks like a stream of light is flowing endlessly.

Plus, the fairy lights tucked inside the bottle give off a cozy glow, while the faucet and fittings bring in an industrial twist.

It’s simple, affordable, and easy to personalize, you can swap the bottle for a mason jar, colored glass, or even a vintage jug.

In just a few steps, you’ll have a lamp that looks like art.

Materials Needed

• 1 old faucet with pipe fitting
• 1 clear glass bottle or jar
• 1 set of battery-powered or USB fairy lights
• Wooden block base (about 10-12” long)
• Drill and screws for securing faucet
• Optional: dark wood stain for rustic finish

Step-by-step Guide

Step 1: Prepare the wooden base by sanding and staining it to your preferred finish. Allow it to dry completely.

Step 2: Attach the faucet securely to the base using screws and brackets, positioning it so the spout hovers over where your bottle will sit.

Step 3: Place your bottle under the faucet spout and fill it with fairy lights.

For the illusion of light flowing, let some of the string extend out of the bottle’s neck.

Step 4: Secure the fairy light cord neatly along the back of the base to keep the design clean.

Step 5: Turn on your lights and watch the faucet glow with a magical stream of light.

Tips:

For a rustic farmhouse feel, use warm-toned fairy lights and an antique-style faucet.

For something more modern, go with cool-white or multicolored lights.
