Fused in Loops in Bottle Bottoms
One of the questions I get very frequently is “How do I make holes in bottle bottoms if I don’t want to drill?” And I get it, drilling is only a tiny bit fun.

option.

This set up can process a vast amount of scrap glass into frit rapidly, but there are some pros and cons, and a few tips to make your frit grinding more successful.
Fusing with bottle bottom molds is easy and surprisingly versatile. To start, you need a bottle bottom mold. We have a lovely variety in our online store, with new designs being issued regularly.
