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
