While I probably won’t do this- I think this idea is very clever and supercool. I wish I had some of these glasses.

That’s awesome, I am a glass artist, I use gravity and a really hot flame to shape glass into art and such. Here’s some more tips if you are going to try this: you can also score glass with the point of a diamond (careful, you have to press hard and keep the line straight to score glass using anything), add a drop of water to the score line and you can snap it apart without heat, kinda like when you snap a glow stick to activate it only way more pressure and the glass snaps in 2. And why not just soften the cut line with the butane torch?? Screw the sanding thing, what a pain! Not to mention a hazard with all the glass dust, don’t inhale that. You might want to get your bottle really hot in the oven if you do use the torch to melt the edges so that it doesn’t thermal crack or shatter. Use oven gloves or preferably a really big pair of tongs to handle the hot glass. This project can be dangerous if you don’t set up properly or clean up after-wards properly. Clean all the glass dust by spraying with windex and wipe away with paper towel, don’t sweep it up. You don’t want micro glass particles floating around waiting to get inhaled, ever heard of silicosis of the lungs? It’s not a pretty picture…

I think this is a great idea, but I think I would be a little scared to do it myself. Also, I think the bottles here in Japan are a little more narrow than the ones in the states.

Step apparently you need to get your eyes check, the bottle clearly says water.

Great idea buy the way!
