Glass bottles are beautiful, durable, and last a long time, so it’s pretty insane that they’re tossed out in droves – and even if they make it to the recycling bin, it takes a lot of energy to turn them into brand new vessels. That’s why the Kinkajou Bottle Cutter is such a clever idea – it allows you to upcycle used glass bottles into chic, useful products that last a whole lot longer than a single serving beverage.

Using the Kinkajou Bottle Cutter is a snap – simply set a bottle inside, lock it down, and give it a twist it to score the surface. Once you hear a click, use hot and cold water and Kinkajou’s separation rings to pop off the bottles top. All that’s left to do is sand the surface of the rim and your glass bottle creation is complete. Depending on the bottles you have on hand, you can use the Kinkajou Bottle Cutter to create cups, vases, margarita glasses, hydroponic planters and more.

We’ll select one lucky entrant to win. Our contest deadline is Sunday, December 14th at 11:59PM EST, so submit your response today!

I would use a Kinkajou Glass Bottle Cutter to make outdoor decorations for the yard and my screened in porch. This past summer I learned how to make furniture from used wooden pallets. I made couches and a bar, so now I would love to make wind chimes, candle holders, small planters and glasses from wine bottles. For Christmas 2017 I can make gifts from wine bottles and other glass recyclables. I think it's important to find ways to reuse and recycle, plus it makes you tap into your creativity. I can't wait to get started.

I've wanted one of these for years but haven't been able to afford one. I would love to make a large glass sculpture for the outside of my Grandma in law's wine shop. Plus Christmas gifts for friends and family. My friend who runs her Grandmother's bar wants to me to redo all her lighting in the bar with used bottles and some new glasswear. I'm disabled and a stay at home Mom and I can think of all kinds of projects to make with this to help support my family. Please pick me!

I would love to win a bottle cutter! My boyfriend and are talking about moving in together finally and he has a huge collection of Corralejo Tequila bottles. He absolutely loves them and having them on display. Shows everybody, and loves to point them out. However, when we move in together, there won't be a place for them to be displayed, especially how many there are. But with this, I could create them into an entire glass set so he can actually use them, and show them off as well. I think he would really like that over the option of just throwing them all away. He has so many, that I could make two sets and send one set to her father and step-mom who showed him the tequila right before he joined the military. I think it would make a great Christmas present for them.

I plan to make several vases and custom glasses and etch them as gifts for friends. I have done this before but this tool should make everything much easier.

My wife will turn every bottle into some art and craft ideal for our three boys, and I will try to see if I can use them in building our root cellar as a natural light source and multicolored designs.

The excellence of ine iis frequently a purpose of the length of time spent in it. You are aware that the process is called as rawcking of wine. This is a process in which particular strains of bacteria converts malic acid into milder lactic acid.
