Those square ones are harder for me to cut cleanly so good on this candle maker.
My cutter simply won’t handle some of what I’m seeing here. How do you think they did it?
something like this maybe. I haven’t shopped for this stuff in almost 15 years and the available options are much better/cheaper than they used to be
That’s a nice upgrade on mine! Much love.
Oh I try cutting it one and it was a disaster. Better to user professional equipment
How do you cut them? I’ve thought of getting a tile saw and doing that.
I used a jig with a small cutting wheel to score the bottle then heat the score line with boiling ( or near boiling for thinner glass) and then dip it in water to break along the line. Polish with emery cloth or high grit sandpaper. The less delta T between the hot water and the dip water the smoother the cut. Finding your preferred Temps for the thickness of the glass is the art.
Edit: Boiling water
Definitely thought everything was filled with milk
Found the mormon!
i just kind of assumed they were also scented like the bottle they were in and thought “Who would want a vodka scented candle???”
It’s to remind you of all the shot girls over the years. Ahhh, memories.
I rarely drink anymore, like maybe one drink every 6 months, except for wine, which ill have a glass of every couple weeks. But, i save all my bottles, because i fantasize about making things like this. Eventually, i, too, will have problemstic candles!
Could homebrew some wine! Those bottles are essentially infinitely reusable. Shout out to !homebrewing@sopuli.xyz
Or cider… super easy to start. Just buy the cider in US super markets that are “ascorbic acid” free. Throw in some ale or other yeast, spike with sucrose to your taste and bam! Cheapest drinkable alcohol you can find!
I like the candles too! I think I am going to change the title because maybe it’s coming off as judgmental and I didn’t meant that.
I don’t drink anymore, but I still have 2 lamps I made out of liquor bottles lol
Did you leave the labels on?
I did! Here’s one I made from a Kraken bottle! Sorry it’s not the best picture, I’m at work so I can’t take a better one just now
Ok I wasn’t sold on the idea, but considering the bottle actually says KRAKEN, that actually makes some sense. Excellent mogwai placement btw 😆
(Also, that is some good rum, excellent choice)
I made it with an inexpensive lamp kit from the hardware store! The only issue with the kit is that it leaves the cord sticking out of the side of the socket, so I used a diamond drill bit to cut a hole near the bottom of the bottle and fed the cord through there!
Awful taste, but great execution.
