Turn That Crown Upside Down

So it’s pretty much a given that we all need to recycle and do our part to save the environment and what not. So we save our bottles and cans and schlep them to the nearest recycling place or Coinstar every month and get $10 for our 5 trash bags full of bottles that you know is going right back towards beer. There has to be a better solution right?
There is! Instead of getting 5 cents for all those beer bottles, why not turn them into goblets that would probably cost you $20. By cutting off the base, polishing the edges and then bonding the base to the “mouth” of the bottle, you’ve just turned another receptacle that probably led to a bad decision into a work of art. Scrounge throgh the dumpster behind Sigma Phi on a Sunday morning and you can probably find enough bottles to replace every glass in your house with goblets.

Too much work to make goblets. I wonder if you could sell them?

I remember a device to make these, long ago, like back in the 1970’s–hippie glassware.

Indeed too much work. Cute though. I’d probably get hurt cutting the glass.

You wouldn’t want to see mine if i attempted to make one. It would look like Claire’s piece of pottery on that one episdoe of The Cosby Show.

I got a laugh out of that, I know exactly what episode you’re talking about. Thank God for Nick At Nite

And to think I seen advertised on tv, a saw that will cut a nice straight glass bottle in half with hardly any effort at all!

Much easier to go to pottery barn and buy inexpensive glassware.

They’re so cute. I love crafts. But what would you cut the bottles with?
Although they’re not really practical, I think it’s a cute project.
I would try to make these if I could find something to cut the bottles.
