To cut your glass bottle to two, you first have to mark the line where you want it to break. You can use a wheel for this. If you want to carry out the operation with a fire, take a candle and turn it on. Once the broken line is marked with the knob, start heating along the line by constantly rotating the bottle. For this operation, you will need about five minutes. After five minutes, immerse the bottle in cold water. It is possible to have to repeat the entire operation, from the beginning to the end, a few times to succeed in breaking it. Once your bottle is cut, do not forget to sand the edges with sandpaper. Thereafter, you decide how to decorate: painting, stickers, ribbons etc.
