This is a great idea, and a set of them would make a really unique gift. Lifehacker.com 's Matt Richardson clearly explains how to do it in the following video. There are so many options and possibilities!
There are several variations on the cutter. I bought mine at Joann Fabrics online for around $20. I heat mine in a pot of really hot water for about 15 seconds, then plunge into ice water and get a pretty clean cut. Then, sand and sand some more.
Happy to see your blog as it is just what I’ve looking for and excited to read all the posts. I am looking forward to another great article from you. I presently used custom imprinted drink-ware. I want to buy just like yours soon. Thank you.
Making drinking glasses or personalized glassware from wine bottles has been around for years, and while it is relatively easy to cut a bottle, making a nice useful drinking glass is a little more difficult.
I made these with wine bottles for my winery wedding. We used them as the center pieces on the tables filled with fresh flowers.
ReplyDeleteNow I gave them to friends as a house warming gift or I just use them around our house to put fresh flowers in.

ReplyDeleteWhat number silicone carbide grit should I use? And what kind of sand paper? I found the cutter on delphiglass.com
ReplyDeleteI wish I hadn't just put my good wine bottle in recycling!
ReplyDeleteWhat if you want the paper label on the glass? Is there a coating that works well to waterproof it so the glass can be washed?
