very nice. and a great way to recycle old bottles!!

You did great!!

Don't let the others get you down....there will always be those who claim to have a better product...and to that, you just look at them & say "...ain't that nice. :)"

[SIRJAMES09]

IF, if you use a copper end cap for copper plumbing pipe, you could maybe solder the wire to the end cap making it safer & stronger.

Again, just a thought, not trying to tell you what to do.

[SIRJAMES09]

Another thing you cad do is buy a glass cutting drill bit, & add small holes to the sides of the bottle, then insert a coat hanger or something like that into the holes you drill. This would make hanging the bottle much safer

Or maybe several holes so you can adjust for different sizes of candles...

Just a thought.

Jeesh, that hanger method leaves something to be desired. We do a much more professional job with ours at Green Illuminations.

just because yours is different, Please be respectful of other people's hard work...maybe he/she did not think of using anything else at the time this Instructable was made...

maybe he/she did not have the $$ to buy the stuff you used...
maybe the materials used was all that he/she had available to them at the time...

Please be respectful is all I'm asking...

I'm definitely going to try it - very good video

We could do with a few more details here, like, how you cut the bottom off your bottle in step 1.

HI kiteman, check out the embedded video. I have found thhere stuff pretty lukewarm in reference to what they put on the web, but this is quite precise I must buy a bottle cutter just to try this technique out. The last good edge I did on a bottle I did with big brother tile cutting wet saw. Freaking could cut off a keft with that machine, no worries to the bottle. This seems much better. no huge mess, no set up really Kudo's to this Intructable and people who did the embedded video. It was pretty informative actually. And I have tried all the methods they showed in the video with all the same results. My bttle cutter actually used a simple candle to heta the glass and right over the score only . That made the best results by far. (well except for the wet saw, no contest there) It got boring and I gave it away :-( wish I had kept it though cause now with all the blue glass bottles around you can make cool things with the empties.

I apologize for that something happened to the details. I'll put them back up as soon as I can.

Great job! I have one of the cutters and have tapped the bottles, with mixed results. Very good video on "how-to." Thanks!
