What you need: Slightly-expensive, fancy, colourful bottles.

Instructions: Those are bulb-shaped Christmas lights wrapped around the bottles. Get lights of your choice, and simply wrap them around bottles of your choice. Easy to do, but a bit pricey because coloured glass does not come cheap.

Let it shine

How neat would these look at a dinner party in summer on the back table. A place in Coogee does them. They come with remotes 😲 #lighting #tablelight #partydecor #perthsmallbusiness #fairlights #glow #ideas #lighting #ambient #romantic

What you need: Mason jars, and lights.

Instructions: Big mason jaws meet fairy lights, stoppered with a plain plastic ball. Simple but gorgeous.
