It was really fun. And slightly scary. But mostly fun. The tops are a little jagged; I'm hoping that will improve with practice. I tried re-doing one of them and it didn't work, so it may be a one time thing on each bottle.
For now they are really simple candle holders on my mantle. What do you think?

I've tried this before, but I used hairspray because I didn't have nail polish remover at the time. I had issues getting the top level too. These turned out pretty good for candle holders though, especially with the embossed lettering!
ReplyDeleteNice! I don't think I'd have the courage to do this. It's a cool effect, though.
ReplyDeleteI've seen people make drinking glasses this way & wonder how they got the top so smooth.
ReplyDeleteWhat an amazing thing. I have two gorgeous green glass bottles that I ignored this week because I didn't have a glass cutter. Very brave of you to try it and they turned out beautifully. I love the uneven edges.
ReplyDeleteThese are fun :) I bought a bottle cutter a while back and haven't had a chance to use it yet! I've never heard of the polish remover and fire method...fun!
