Lighting Hack Alert! 3 USB-Powered Bottle Lamps

When we came across these clever touch lamps powered by USB, we had to throw on our DIY hats. The shades sit snugly in any standard bottle, but how could we just use typical bottles? Here are 3 super simple hacks on tricking out your very own USB-powered bottle lamp.

USB lamp shade

3D printing out) a few basic bottles. Read on to see what we did!

Materials:
– turquoise 3D printing cartridge

– washi tape

– acrylic paint, turquoise

– glass bottle

– metal water bottle

– 3 USB LED Touch Lamps

Tools:
– paint brush

– computer or USB port (to power your lamp!)

– 3D printer

– painter’s tape

As you can see, everything but the 3D printer is pretty run of the mill in terms of the supplies department.

First up, one of our favorite tricks. Use painter’s tape to create an angular “dipped” design to jazz up a basic glass bottle. Paint a layer or two of acrylic paint or spray paint and let dry.

Lastly, a regular old basic here at Brit HQ. We took an old beat up water bottle and covered it in turquoise duct tape. Boom! Color-blocked!

Now, it’s time to put those shades on. Pretty straightforward for the glass bottle and water bottle… but our 3D printed bottle was a little on the short side.

To make up for height, we filled the bottle with rice! This also added a nice weight to the bottle, making the shade balance much more solidly.

And there they all are!

Simply tap on the light and your desk’ll be illuminated in a jiffy.

Lighting can make or break a space. Overhead lights are convenient to switch on but can feel too harsh, while the right mix of lighting can create a warm, inviting aesthetic. The secret? Layering — think floor lamps, table lamps, sconces, and more. To help you achieve that cozy, designer-worthy look, we’ve rounded up 18 affordable Target finds that look way more expensive than they are!

If you keep seeing the same 3- or 4-number sequences everywhere – on clocks, receipts, or license plates – you might be noticing what people refer to as ‘angel numbers.’ These repeating digits are believed to carry spiritual messages that typically offer guidance, reassurance, or simply a little cosmic nudge in the right direction – just like astrology!

Whether you think it's pure coincidence or a sign from the universe, angel numbers have a fascinating way of showing up just when you need them the most.

Read on for everything you need to know about angel numbers — including their powerful meaning!

What are angel numbers?

Maria Radice / Dupe

Angel numbers are sequences of numbers that are commonly believed to carry spiritual messages from angels, divine beings, or the universe. You can often spot angel numbers on clocks, license plates, signs, or even dreams. Each angel number sequence is thought to have a specific meaning behind it, depending on the interpretation.

What are examples of angel numbers?

Natasha Torres / Dupe

Common examples of angel numbers include sequences like 111, 333, 444, and so on.

What are the common angel numbers and their meanings?

Alejandra Isunza / Dupe

  • 111: This sequence can signify new beginnings or assist in manifestation.
  • 222: This angel number can represent balance and harmony, as well as encourage you to trust the process.
  • 333: Often symbolizes divine protection, guidance, and encouragement from your angels – or whatever higher power you believe in.
  • 444: This angel number sequence can be a sign of stability, reassurance, and that your angels and the universe are supporting you in your endeavors.
  • 555: Indicates that major life changes and transformations are coming.
  • 666: This number serves as a reminder to focus on your inner balance, thoughts, and personal growth (it’s not always a negative number).

Why should I pay attention to angel numbers?

Shai / Dupe

Paying attention to angel numbers can be extra meaningful if you believe in spiritual guidance or personal growth. They can serve as gentle reminders to trust your intuition when making big decisions, meeting new people, or starting a new chapter in your life.

Even if you don’t whole-heartedly believe in spiritual signs, noticing patterns in things like angel numbers can help you stay present and reflect on where you are in life!
