Make Drinking Glasses from Beer or Wine Bottles



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!

  1. I made these with wine bottles for my winery wedding. We used them as the center pieces on the tables filled with fresh flowers.

    Now I gave them to friends as a house warming gift or I just use them around our house to put fresh flowers in.

  3. 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.

  4. What number silicone carbide grit should I use? And what kind of sand paper? I found the cutter on delphiglass.com

  5. I wish I hadn't just put my good wine bottle in recycling!

  6. What 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?

  9. 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.
