Learn how to cut bottles the best way. In several of my projects I use cut bottles, but I never further explained how these are exactly to be cut. This post means to close this gap and with many colorful pictures, I am going to show you how to cut bottles smoothly. And by the way, I do not use the widely spread method, to light an oil impregnated thread bound around a bottle (I almost singed my eyebrows this way and only transformed a lot of waste glass in even smaller waste glass).

    I bought mine at this site: www.glas-per-klick.de. It is a german site but it has a translation-button to english but I am afraid the shop only ships inside the EU., sorry :-(

    @Melissa check ebay search bar.. type bottle cutter..that is where I got mine. Remember make a mark on the bottle where you started and don't cut again pass the start mark. CUT ONLY ONCE AROUND FOR A CLEAN CUT.
