Share & Voice: How to cut a beer bottle to make a glass

Recently I made a project for a class that had to involve junking.  For my project I decided to use some old beer bottles I hadn't yet recycled, and tried a project I read about in Men's Health Magazine this summer.  The project works like this:
  1. Tie a string around your bottle
  2. Remove tied string
  3. Dip your string in lighter fluid (or another flammable fluid)
  4. Put string back around the bottle
  5. Light string on fire, turning bottle to make sure all of the string catches on fire
  6. Just before the fire dies out dunk the bottle into cold water while pulling apart.
  7. Sand sharp edges of bottle for safety
This was a challenging process to master but I am really happy I did it.  It was a very interesting way to reuse bottles for both storing things, as you will see in the video below, or drinking out of again.  Enjoy the video!

  1. Dane, very cool idea you found here. It's definitely an Eco-Chic project. I think it's cool that you can use these bottles for other drinking glasses or shot glasses. Awesome junk project. Nice job.
