Just like food, I believe wine can be paired with design…or redesign in this case. My goal is to create designer-looking pieces at a fraction of the cost. After each project, I recommend an affordable bottle of wine to celebrate the end result. So, kick back and enjoy…but make sure to drink your wine AFTER the project, (especially when using sharp objects - yeeouch)! CHEERS!

Fill a pot with ice cold water and set to the side.<br/>2. Wrap the piece of cotton string or yarn around the wine bottle three times (wrap it around up to 6 times for a thicker bottle), tie it, and slide it off the wine bottle. <br/>3. Soak the string in acetone based nail polish remover for 10 seconds <br/>4. Put the nail polish remover soaked string back around the bottle on the spot where you would like it to cut <br/>5. Using a match light just the string on fire, continually rotate the bottle in circles so that the fire spins around the bottle. Keep rotating the bottle until the flames goes out. <br/>6.
