My husband and I have been married for 5 years and for 5 years I have been wanting to take our favor which was a bottle of wine and make a candle holder out of the empty bottle. Life got in the way and I have forgotten about it until today! I came across this great site and I thought I would share it with everyone. It is step by step instructions on how to cut glass.
The steps are...
- Fill your sink with cold water.
- Wrap yarn around the bottle 5-6 times. Use yarn instead of string. Because of its fluffy fibers, it's more flammable than string.
- Snip the ends of the yarn off.
- Slip the yarn off the bottle, and dip it in fingernail polish remover. Saturate it well.
- Slip the yarn back on the neck of the bottle in the place you want to cut the glass. Position in the right spot.
- With a match or lighter, light the yarn on fire. Rotate the bottle while its burning to evenly burn the bottle and heat the glass.
- After about 20-25 seconds, dunk the bottle in the cold water to break the glass.
- Remove the string.
- Sand the edges. Be careful! They will be sharp.
Once I get a chance to do this, I will post photos of the results. Have you done this or know someone who has? I would love to hear about it!
