Turn your beer bottles into glass cups

[Tricky0352]

I was in the middle of trying this, and my wife says "oh I saw that on pinterest". Ruined it for me.

Right!

I bought one of those cutting tool off Amazon for $15 and am making Corona glasses for a friend's beach house using the jumbo Corona bottles. They were the only ones I could find that were larger and had painted labels. I did the burning string method first but the glass heights were inconsistent and the cuts were jagged. The cutting jig works well. Score, pour hot water on the cut line then dunk in ice water. Sand the edges and enjoy.

Had he been 5 months slower, you might have not been beaten to it. Either that or your internet connection is way super slow. Just messing with ya, couldn't help it!

The hot water thing looks like the way to go..............

We used to make them out of quart bottles of beer in college.

I made some a few years back. Wine bottle on the left and beer on the right. Used a little wooden jig I made and a glass cutter though.

Casey,

Did you use a tile saw for the thicker glass?? I have a bottle I want to try that should make a good iced tea glass but doubtful heat is enough & too large to get straight. It's heavy when empty.

My sister who does specialty glass sculptures & blowing the in the SA area says I have to cut.


I do have some victoria bottles I could mess around with on the twine deal though. Those would be snazzy.

I'm going to have to try it, thanks!
