Step 3Cutting the Bottles to create a Master Pattern

Cutting the Bottles to create a Master Pattern
-Start by cutting the top and the bottom of each bottle, we want to keep only the middle of the bottle,which is much easier to manipulate for our project.

-Cut through all bottles as shown on the picture.
-Lay them flat by pressing them on the ironing board.
-Steam all the pieces until they are flat ,they can't be perfectly flat,but flat enough to create the pattern,we also want to keep the crinkle lookwhich is more A LA MODE lately ;)

At the end you should have 16 pieces -7 "W by 5"L
