DIY "Cloud" Lamp For Less Than $10

Wanna impress the kids with a little DIY lighting for their room? Using less than $10 in material, including a recycled glass bottle, a 15-40 watt appliance bulb, some squirts of "pearly-type" hand soap containing gycol stearate or distearate, and some tap water, you too can revisit those Summer of Love days with your own homemade lava lamp.

This is great. Is it okay to put the bottle in upside down (as long as it doesn't touch the bulb and is very well sealed)? It might make a better shape depending on the bottle.
