To make these champagne flutes you'll need a Kinkajou bottle cutter and some glass soda bottles. Start by washing the bottles and removing any labels.
Clamp the Kinkajou around the bottle, just below where the neck of the bottle straightens out into the main body of the bottle.
Spin the blade of the bottle cutter around the bottle several times, scoring the glass to weaken it.
Fill your sink with hot water and submerge the bottle. The run it under cold water. The heat will make the glass expand and contract, weakening it around the scored line.
Eventually the bottle should break neatly along the scored line. Sand the top and bottom of the bottle well.
Use pliers to cut off any rings from the bottle cap.
Use an epoxy glue to attach the bottom of the bottle to the top, so that the top of the bottle becomes the stem for your champagne flute.
Plan a design for your glasses with paper and pencil.
Cut a stencil out of sticker paper.
Stick the stencils to the front of the glasses.
Paint over the stencil with Modge Podge.
Sprinkle the design with glitter and leave to dry.
Remove the sticker paper.
Paint the stem of your glasses with Modge Podge.
Sprinkle with glitter and leave to dry.
Paint with a second coat of Modge Podge and glitter. Leave to dry and then wash the glasses well to remove any excess glitter.
You're new champagne flutes are read to drink from. Cheers!
