Plastic Bottle "Stained Glass" Candleholder

Step 2 Destruction of plastic

The first bottle you cut saving the base of the bottle to become the base of the candleholder. The pieces are layered on top of each other with the opposite side from cutting out becoming the second layer.

The second bottle is cut just from the center part with no base or top. Each layer will get sandwiched on top of each other to become contrasting layers of stained glass

I just cut them all freehand but if you wanted to you could easily trace a pattern on with a whiteboard marker and use that to cut then wipe it off before coloring in the design.

What did you cut them with?

[Skipper jr]

With scissors, what else would you cut them with.....your finger

You could also stick down masking tape and draw your pattern on that.

Yeah that would work good- and if you wanted to get fancy you could use the small masking tape that is used for pinstriping to outline it and then remove the tape and have clear spaces between the colors.... I might try that.....
