Cinder blocks or wood holding up glass or clear plastic shelving with rope lights shining from under? I dunno...ghetto rig that shit yo. Detroit style.
Ok.... my immediate solution would be to take a piece of wood and carve it out in the shape of the lights I wanted to use, (plus it's wiring) and then place glass on top of it.
Like three long grooves for xmas lights then glass... that may be expensive though.
Hmmm... this really seems like there should be an easy ass inexpensive solution. What kind of shelf are you using in the first place? What about getting spacers plus a sheet of glass and just putting the lights between?
I am thinking lights like those oval ones that are solar powered that we put on the ground at BM... sanwiched between the glass and wood with rubberspacers ever 6 inches.
Or you could just run led rope lights around outside edge of the shelf and they should reflect up into the bottles.
i really like that last one. like, if you could have the bottles set on sort of a tray with a lip around the edge, then run lights along the lip, that would both cost nothing and not rely on fragile glass.
Or did you want something like this? Granted that's a beer can but the little lights underneath look easy enough to rig with blue xmas lights. Just get a length of clear plastic and glue them in place. Stack the bottles on top.
yeah, that's what i'm going for. if i knew how to get acrylic formed and shaped for a reasonable amount of money, i'd definitely do something like this. but i really don't (and suspect that there simply *isn't* a place to get one-off acrylic work done).
yes! those are perfect. and exactly the kind of price i don't want to pay, given that i am not outfitting a real bar here. but yeah the second one especially just *nails* what my ideal would be.
