Caution : To cut the bottle, we are using dremel, if you are not done this before, Please do not attempt this, ask a friend who has experience to doing this kind of work

Material

• Wine glass bottle ( Easy to cut at home)
• Pallet wood piece

Tools

• Dremel or a rotary tool
• Extension for dremel
• 50mm diamond cutting disc
• Water siphon arrangement
• Wood stain and polish

• Do not try to cut the glass, if you are new to this
• Always wear protection before you cut glass
• When cutting a glass bottle, glass dust is released in the air. this glass dust is extremely dangerous
• To avoid glass dust, I am using water siphon
• • This does not mean you can skip breathing protection
  • There are times when the water gets over or you are cutting glass in dry areas
  • So be carefull !!!!
• Mark the area that you want to cut, by a masking tape or permanent marker
• Make an outline with the diamond disc then start cutting through the glass
• Let the blade do cutting, do not use force..
• Also note that the water is going to splash everywhere, so move away any device or stuff that could get damaged

• I am using a piece of pallet wood to make the stand
• Based on the bottle measure the diameter and cut the curved base as shown
• Fix all 3 piece of the stand using PVA glue or fevicol
• Let it dry for 4 hrs
• Sand the wood with 80, 180 and then 220 grit
• Stain and polish the wood based on your preference

• Place the glass bottle on the wooden stand
• Add soil and plants ( small cactus or succulents )
• Clean the bottle after you are done
• Water rarely

Place this in your home and enjoy the amazing decorative planter
