Flattened glass bottles can make an interesting piece of artwork that will likely become the start of several conversations.

Steps

  1. Make sure the toaster oven is on a surface where the sides are not touching anything else.
  2. Sprinkle a little bit of salt on the tray to hold the bottle in place and then place the bottle with the label up on the tray.
  3. Close the toaster oven and set the temperature for 200 degrees. Wait for two hours.
  4. After two hours have passed, turn the temperature up as high as it will go (but do not set to broil). Leave the bottle cooking for about 10-15 hours.
  5. After 15 hours, the bottle should be completely flat.
  6. Turn the temperature down to 200 degrees. Leave the bottle in the oven for 15 hours.
  7. Turn the toaster off, and leave the bottle in the toaster for about 5 more hours.
  8. Take out your flattened bottle, and put it somewhere to display!!
  9. This will NOT work! See "discuss" tab above for details.
