I have a couple of glass bottles I have saved up and I have been looking for cool things to do with them. I decided to experiment and I came out with this!
I found instructions online on how to cut a glass bottle. All you need is:
the bottle you want to cut,
a candle,
sand paper (I forgot to include it in the picture below),
something to score the glass (I happen to have a glass scorer/breaker),
and running water!
The steps:
1. Take the paper off of the bottle and decide where you want to cut it.
2. Make your cut! Score the glass all the way around the bottle. I found it very hard to cut a straight line which is why the glass was cut so uneven (but I kind of like it.)
3. Light the candle and heat the score on your glass. I'm not sure the right way to do this, but I ran it a few times over the tip of the flame, trying to avoid turning the glass black.
4. Run the heated cut under running water and you have two pieces of glass!
5. Sand the edge of the glass with the sand paper.
In haste, I blew the candle out and made a mess (or, ART) on my table. I will probably not remove it for a while..
In other news, I am growing sunflowers! Don't worry, I will replant them in a bigger pot when needed.
And, we have a tent in our living room! We take turns sleeping in it :)
ANDDDD!!! My roommate is going to get married!!!!!!!! Heeeeeeeeee!
