Step 1: What Do We Need ?
Material
- Wine glass bottle ( Easy to cut at home)
- Pallet wood piece
Tools
- Dremel or a rotary tool
- Extension for dremel
- 50mm diamond cutting disc
- Water siphon arrangement
- Wood stain and polish
Step 2: Bottle Cutting
- Do not try to cut the glass, if you are new to this
- Always wear protection before you cut glass
- When cutting a glass bottle, glass dust is released in the air. this glass dust is extremely dangerous
- To avoid glass dust, I am using water siphon
- This does not mean you can skip breathing protection
- There are times when the water gets over or you are cutting glass in dry areas
- So be carefull !!!!
- Mark the area that you want to cut, by a masking tape or permanent marker
- Make an outline with the diamond disc then start cutting through the glass
- Let the blade do cutting, do not use force..
- Also note that the water is going to splash everywhere, so move away any device or stuff that could get damaged
Step 3: Wood Stand
- I am using a piece of pallet wood to make the stand
- Based on the bottle measure the diameter and cut the curved base as shown
- Fix all 3 piece of the stand using PVA glue or fevicol
- Let it dry for 4 hrs
- Sand the wood with 80, 180 and then 220 grit
- Stain and polish the wood based on your preference
Step 4: Plant
- Place the glass bottle on the wooden stand
- Add soil and plants ( small cactus or succulents )
- Clean the bottle after you are done
- Water rarely
Place this in your home and enjoy the amazing decorative planter
