You can use WD-40 to take away the glue from the labels… then clean them with a little soap… greeting from Cabo Rojo, Puerto Rico!!

Great video,I love the recycling aspect. I can't wait to see what you do with them. I cut a lot of bottles but havnt mosaiced directly onto one yet, maybe one day. Breaking bottles is a great free resource and good for the environment.
A great way to use your off cuts is to break with nippers and tumble them to use as glass in your mosaics. If you cut up the bottle (not around) you get flatter glass pieces. You can also make beautiful slithers for flower petals or bird feathers. Bailey's bottles give you beautiful black glass for mosaicing.
Love your videos.

I got a cut glass bottle about 2 years ago and IO gave up! You convinced me to try again! ❤ thank you!

Hi Julie if you use sandpaper instead of the file, it’s much better, I use sandpaper. Greetings from La Paz, Baja California Sur, Mexico 🇲🇽

[@janiceveline3681]

I found I ran out of ice also, so I stuck the bottles in the freezer and left them for about 45 minutes or so and ta da, it worked really well. They broke quickly under very hot tap water. No more running out of ice.

Great tips! Thanks so much for sharing. Does the bottle cutter adjust to different sizes of bottles? Sorry you may have said it, but I missed it 😂😊

[@karen-lynpenton2427]

The item description says 3"-10". 😀

[@lilqueeniescraftingismypassion]

Thanks so much, and again thanks for the vid very helpful God bless ​@karen-lynpenton2427

After peeling off most of a label, paint thinner will remove the rest very easily.
