Whoa, that's pretty cool, how do you do that, with a kiln or something?

Very clever!
I have a ravine in which a section was used as the family dump in the 40's. Many bottles still migrate to the surface. I'd love to use some of your ideas. How do you melt them?

Thanks
Yes a kiln is used & a tile saw & Diamond drill bits
It takes about 24 hours from start to finish to fire /melt bottles
Thats after cleaning removing lables etc.

Not as nice but, I have drilled two small holes near the bottom of the bottle and suspended an incense stick with a car key ring. With a little painting you can make it a little decorative. They sell these for 20-30 in the alternative type shops.

Nice Ideas, I want a kiln now!

Thank you.
I do the incense holders too useing a bottle mold kind of makes the bottle into a bowl shape and drill a hole for the stick. Sorry no pictures
Yes a kiln is fun to play around with ....all used glass turns into something new.
