How to make a homemade coat rack from bottles
The empty bottles you have collected can easily be used to make a nice coat rack. You can use them to hang hats and other accessories.

- A piece of thin cotton cord
- Alcohol
- A lighter
- A container of water

Instructions

- Ignite the cord with the lighter. It may be necessary to do this a few times if the flame goes out too fast.
- After approx. one minute continuous fire, immerse the bottle in the water tank. You will hear a click, which means the glass is cracked. Now the bottle is divided along the string.
