Easy glass bottle candle holders!

This week has been SUPER busy, so I have lots to show the people of the world including upcycled root-beer bottle candle holders.


So to start off the glass bottle candle holders! Which look beautiful!


What you need:

1.  Glass bottle ( wine bottle, beer bottle, olive oil bottle ect.)
2.  Medium to thick yarn or rope
3.  Nail polish remover
4.  Lighter
5.  Sink of ice cold water
6.  Sand paper or emery board

I used the rope and burn method but if you want smoother easier to sand edges, or if you have kids, I suggest this method. The second method allows you to make the edges less sharp ( we don't want anyone getting hurt.) So here's what you do.

1. Fill your sink with ice water, add maybe 6-12 ice cubes.
2. Take your glass bottle and wrap the string around the bottle where you want it to cut. (You might want to wrap it more than once.)
3. Tie the string and cut any loose ends, then simply slip off the string.
4. Soak the string in nail polish remover.
5. Put the string back on the bottle.
6. Hold the bottle over the sink and stand back.
7. Light that sucker on fire, roll the bottle to make sure all the fire is spread around the bottle.
8. When the flame starts to wean dunk the bottle into the ice water, and it should just fall apart.
9. Sand the rough edges.

This video is a good version of the steps above.

What I did with mine was melted a candle down to fill the space, but you could put a tea light inside, or make your own candle using scented bees wax and a new wick. Anyways here's how mine turn out. Hope you guys liked my latest tutorial!
