Give your discarded glass new purpose!
 
Take a bottle, cut it in half, throw a cork-mounted candlestick holder in the top of it, and you get the above.  HOW AWESOME IS THAT?!  Personally, I'm excited about this new design, and I'm looking to maybe do even more variations of it.  But wait, there's more!
Cut the top AND the bottom off a bottle, attach a light fixture kit to it, screw it into a recessed can light fixture... and now you have a converted pendant light in your kitchen, den, bar, or other location!  Tell me that's not the coolest thing!  :D

Anyway, both the items above just posted (among others) to our Etsy store, and even more will be coming online in the days ahead.  We're growing!  Woooooot!  Also, I plan on making a video or two here soon that documents my cutting and grinding methods so others can learn some tricks of the trade.  Stay tuned for that in the coming weeks.  Until then, feel free to submit your ideas for custom products if you have any in mind...  I'm open to fabricating all kinds of upcycled, recycled, or repurposed bottle creations!

Hi Jared, Very clever stuff! It is funny, I scrolled down your page and saw the wine bottle candles, I just made a bunch last weekend and am uploading a video now on the process, great minds eh... I'll have to see your video on your cracking technique, you seem to get a very smooth cut. Thanks for sharing:)

    Allow me to introduce myself... my name is Jared.  :)  I am the creator and author of this site, and the maker of its creative glassworks.  

    Why did I start this? Well, one day I woke up and simply decided it was time to start recycling.  Since then, it's carried me all the way to this newfound passion of chopping discarded glass bottles and turning them into decorative candle votives, flower vases, pendant lights, shelves, bells, and whatnots.  I do it because it's fun, it's expressive, and it's right for the environment, even if the impact is small.  

    That said, I welcome you to explore and enjoy this site as it develops!
