How do you cut a glass bottle neatly?

You can find instructions with video tutorial:  Up-Cycling with a Bottle Cutter. I purchased my bottle cutter from Amazon – you can view it here.

In this post, I’ll guide you through the fascinating process of cutting glass bottles using a bottle cutter. With just a few simple steps, you can transform old wine bottles or beer bottles into stunning pieces of upcycled art. The satisfaction of repurposing these bottles far outweighs the alternative of simply discarding them into the recycling bin.

To get started, you’ll need a few materials, including bottles, a bottle cutter, safety goggles, and sandpaper to smooth out any rough edges. The process begins by sizing the bottle cutter to your desired cut location and then gently scoring the bottle with rotations, creating a cutting line.

After scoring, immerse the scored portion of the bottle in boiling water and then immediately transfer it to a pot of ice cold water. Repeat this process until the bottle cleanly splits in half. While this method generally works well, it may take some practice to achieve consistently clean breaks.

Once your bottle is cut, use sandpaper to smooth any rough edges, ensuring it’s safe for handling. Now, you’re ready to unleash your creativity! Whether you’re crafting glasses, candle holders, wind chimes, or bird feeders, the possibilities for wine bottle crafts are endless. So, grab your gloves, follow these steps, and watch your old glass bottles transform into something beautiful.

Cut Glass Bottle Craft Ideas

Epsom Salt Candle Holder

Decorative Bottle Bottoms

To decorate the bottom half of a bottle – use diamond wrap, sequins, jewels, ribbon, etc .

Office Supply Storage

Use the bottom half of bottles to store things – I am using these 3 to store office supplies on my desk.

Vase Centerpiece

Cut the bottom so the base is taller and you can use it as a vase.  Fill it with some decorative rocks, and add some flowers and you have a beautiful centerpiece.

Self-Watering Planter

To make a self watering planter – cut the bottle so that the neck can fit into the base.

Fill the base with water and cut a few pieces of string to go down the neck.  This will be drawing the water up into the soil.

Place your soil and seeds in the top and you’re set.  You can also place a small plant that is ready to go inside here.

Hanging Lantern

Make a lantern for outside with just a few steps.

Place a battery operated tea light inside the whisk and then place the whisk inside the bottle.  It’s ready to be hung up outside.

Wind Chime

Make a wind chime.  I pulled apart an old yard decoration and reconfigured it to go inside this bottle.  You can use chain, rope, bells, etc hook together and place inside the bottle.

Hang it outside and it’s ready to go.

Light Fixture

Turn it into a hanging lamp.  Buy a bottle light kit and follow the directions on how to put it together.

When it’s all put together, hang it up and it’s ready to use.

The possibilities are endless!
