Little project/hobby I've been working on lately. Figured I'd share.
These were just 'test' runs to see which lights look best. That's why you see them being fed from the top. Final product has wire coming out bottom so cap can be screwed back on.

Also have a strand of Green and Clear lights.
Waiting on more glass cutting bits to arrive in the mail so I can tackle more bottles.
Looking for opinions. You think people would buy these? I would probably stick to beer bottles primarily as buying liquor would get expensive quick.

A guy I work with did this a couple years back with the decorative glass block tiles you see used in bathrooms for like shower walls and stuff. He made killing on them around Xmas time. He had problems until he got some good glass bits so don't waste your time on the cheap bits if your having problems with drilling the glass.

Looks good!
Instead of sanding, consider using some glass etching compound which is like an acid paste that will haze the glass. I got some from Hobby Lobby. You can use tape to mask off a design, wipe it on, let it sit then wipe it off.
