We know about stained glass as an art form, but did you know that there’s another glass art form? This other art form utilizes a glass bottle that is either cut to patterns or fully through the material to create a new shape or purpose. Art made with glass bottles are typically made with beer or wine bottles. These can include:

How it is done is you first score a line where you would like the cut to go. The less passes made, the easier it will be in the long run. Once the scoring has been done, then it is time to heat up the soldering iron. The process requires slow presses to the glass score lines with about five seconds for each press. This process should hopefully create some small cracks along the score to help promote a clean break. If there isn’t any after the first pass even after looking at it through the light, that’s okay. Do another pass through. Keep going as the crack grows until it won’t crack any further, and then you’re basically done! As long as it breaks easily, you are done and have successfully cut the bottle.
