You can recycle old wine bottles to make home decorations. However, if you need to crop or change their shape to make crafts, this is not an easy task. Furthermore, since bottles are glassware, you must know how to cut glass the right way.
Steps
Using wire

Wrap a string around the bottle several times and then tighten it. You should wrap the rope a minimum of 3-4 times around the widest part of the bottle. Then, cut the two ends of the knot.

Slide the wrapped rope away from the neck of the bottle, trying to keep the loop shape.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/9/97/Cut-Wine-Bottles-for-Crafts-Step-3-Version-3.jpg/v4-728px-Cut- Wine-Bottles-for-Crafts-Step-3-Version-3.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/9/97/Cut-Wine-Bottles-for- Crafts-Step-3-Version-3.jpg/v4-728px-Cut-Wine-Bottles-for-Crafts-Step-3-Version-3.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,” bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Dip the loop in the acetone solution commonly used as nail polish remover. The acetone will ignite and heat the bottle along the loop and neatly break the bottle in half. You just need to dip the loop of wire in the acetone solution for a few minutes.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/1/10/Cut-Wine-Bottles-for-Crafts-Step-4-Version-3.jpg/v4-728px-Cut- Wine-Bottles-for-Crafts-Step-4-Version-3.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/1/10/Cut-Wine-Bottles-for- Crafts-Step-4-Version-3.jpg/v4-728px-Cut-Wine-Bottles-for-Crafts-Step-4-Version-3.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,” bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Slide the loop into the bottle as it was originally. You can place the loop in any position, depending on how tall you want the remaining bottle to be. The broken position will deviate slightly around the winding.

Ignite the rope above the basin of water and hold the bottle horizontally. The rope will catch fire quickly. Always keep a basin of water there to prevent errors or incidents.

Rotate the bottle while the wire burns to distribute the heat evenly over the bottle. Use both hands to rotate the bottle as if you were toasting corn. Continue spinning until the acetone is gone, which is usually when the wire starts to smoke.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/2/25/Cut-Wine-Bottles-for-Crafts-Step-7-Version-4.jpg/v4-728px-Cut- Wine-Bottles-for-Crafts-Step-7-Version-4.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/2/25/Cut-Wine-Bottles-for- Crafts-Step-7-Version-4.jpg/v4-728px-Cut-Wine-Bottles-for-Crafts-Step-7-Version-4.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,” bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Dip the bottle in cold water to “cut” exactly where the wire is burning. The sudden change in temperature will cut the bottle right in the place of the flame. Use a piece of sandpaper to smooth the edge of the bottle, removing rough spots or sharp edges. [1] X Research Source
Engrave and cut
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/9/96/Cut-Wine-Bottles-for-Crafts-Step-8-Version-3.jpg/v4-728px-Cut- Wine-Bottles-for-Crafts-Step-8-Version-3.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/9/96/Cut-Wine-Bottles-for- Crafts-Step-8-Version-3.jpg/v4-728px-Cut-Wine-Bottles-for-Crafts-Step-8-Version-3.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,” bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Buy an industrial bottle cutter or craft knife. This tool is used to cut cylindrical glass objects. However, if you only need to cut a bottle then you probably don’t need to buy an industrial bottle cutter, but if you need to cut a lot, a bottle cutter is very useful. On the other hand, glass cutters or sharp blades can also be used.

Use a tube lock ring to tighten around the bottle, forming a line. Place the bracelet where you want to cut, try to align the ring in a balanced position. The tube lock ring will form a ruler for you to carve along. You can also wrap paper tape around the area to be cut to create a straight line.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/a/a0/Cut-Wine-Bottles-for-Crafts-Step-10-Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Cut- Wine-Bottles-for-Crafts-Step-10-Version-2.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/a/a0/Cut-Wine-Bottles-for- Crafts-Step-10-Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Cut-Wine-Bottles-for-Crafts-Step-10-Version-2.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,” bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Use a sharp craft knife to carve the bottle along the edge of the tube lock ring or the edge of the wrapped tape. Try to trace along the lines to make sure the cut is straight and even. Do it slowly to ensure accuracy.
- You may have to carve around the bottle 3-4 times to create a deep groove. Remember, you don’t have to cut through the bottle, just make a small, even groove.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/e/ea/Cut-Wine-Bottles-for-Crafts-Step-11-Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Cut- Wine-Bottles-for-Crafts-Step-11-Version-2.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/e/ea/Cut-Wine-Bottles-for- Crafts-Step-11-Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Cut-Wine-Bottles-for-Crafts-Step-11-Version-2.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,” bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Light a candle and heat the cut. Rotate the bottle so that the entire engraving line is heated evenly. The change in temperature causes the hardness of the glass to decline, and the etching around the bottle will speed up this process, eventually creating a neat break.
- Heat the etching sugar for about 5-6 seconds.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/0/02/Cut-Wine-Bottles-for-Crafts-Step-12-Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Cut- Wine-Bottles-for-Crafts-Step-12-Version-2.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/0/02/Cut-Wine-Bottles-for- Crafts-Step-12-Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Cut-Wine-Bottles-for-Crafts-Step-12-Version-2.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,” bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Rub an ice cube around the carving line. You will hear a small click while scrubbing. Carefully pull the two halves of the bottle apart.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/b/b7/Cut-Wine-Bottles-for-Crafts-Step-13-Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Cut- Wine-Bottles-for-Crafts-Step-13-Version-2.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/b/b7/Cut-Wine-Bottles-for- Crafts-Step-13-Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Cut-Wine-Bottles-for-Crafts-Step-13-Version-2.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,” bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Reheat the etching line and continue rubbing the ice cubes if the first attempt fails. After the second or third time, the bottle will break in half and you will have two separate pieces.

Use sandpaper to sand the cut edges on the bottle before use. Although this method produces a relatively neat cut, you always have to be careful. Sand the cut edge on the bottle to remove sharp or rough spots. [2] X Research Source
Warning
- Always wear gloves and safety glasses when cutting glass.
- Do not rush when cutting glass; if you cut too fast, the bottle will probably break and cut into your hand.
Things you need
- Empty bottle
- Glass cutting equipment
- Industrial Pipe Lock Ring
- Candle
- Ice
