I found a much easier way to cut my wine bottles…

First cut a length of yarn that will wrap around the bottle a few times. (I’ve found 2 and a half works well)
Soak your yarn in nail polish remover
Wrap the yarn around the bottle where you want the cut
light the yarn on fire
let it burn for about 30 seconds then dunk the entire bottle in cold water
Viola! The glass will break evenly right where the yarn was.

Easy to do in your kitchen sink and only takes 5 minutes!
NOT for little ones though!

You can also cut glass using just yarn and nail polish remover.

Question for Brenda J, 9-11-11 post about a glass cutting kit from the 70′s. I am trying to do it for Christmas but I remember cutting the bottle then attaching the bottom half to the top half for a goblet effect. Does that ring a bell? How do you connect the glass pieces? Thanks

I’m exited that you’ve tried glass cutting and that this post came out just now – tomorrow we’re trying a different method to get the same result. Saw on Pinterest that if you soak yarn in acetone (nail polish remover), put it around the bottle, light it on fire, and then dunk the whole thing in icy water, you get really clean cuts – we’ll see!! At least we won’t be spending any money on this project if it goes terribly.
