How to cut glass bottles with thread to make glasses?

Before starting this procedure of cutting glass bottles, it is recommended to wash the containers very well. Let’s remember that sanitizing glass is much easier than plastic, plus the bad smell goes away quickly.

Next we will see how to cut and the elements that are required:

Materials

• 1 glass bottle
• Thread
• Masking tape
• 1 large container
• Water
• A lot of ice
• 1 Syringe
• industrial alcohol
• 1 Lighter
• water sandpaper

Procedure

1. First of all, we wash the bottle very well and with Masking tape we proceed to mark. We do it exactly where we want to cut, a suggestion is that it be below the nozzle of the bottle and as uniform as possible.
2. Then, wrap the bottle with thread below where we have marked it, always very straight. We can turn it several times if the glass is thick, it must be done slowly and with the necessary time.
3. Next, we place water and a lot of ice in a container. We reserve.
4. Next step, we proceed to wet the thread of the bottle with industrial alcohol and we do it with a syringe.
5. Then we remove the tape and very carefully set the thread on fire. Once it goes out, we submerge the bottle in the ice water that we have reserved. Immediately you will hear a click, which is precisely the noise of the bottle cutting.
6. To finish, we remove the thread and we can now polish the edges of the glass with sandpaper in the water. It is the safe way to avoid possible cuts and any other type of accidents.

We now have our homemade, original and very decorative glasses ready!

Recommendations:
