Old wine bottles for new glasses

A portable forge heats the tools with large or medium-sized rings at one end and handles at the other.

Meanwhile, Betsy Bower places an empty wine bottle in the corner of a box and seats in the sand at a playground in the first "Upcycling 101" event at the Memorial Presbyterian Church in Winter, in the north of Casper.

A participant Upcycling puts a glove, pulls the tool of the forge, he puts on the bottle and holds it flat against the top of the box.

Bower turns the bottle that the participant pulls the tool against the hot side of the bottle.

The tool is withdrawn after half a minute to turn, she took the bottle and dunks it in a bucket of water, where a slight crack is heard.

Bowers gets the lower half of the bottle to the participant sand smooth the edge, creating a unique drinking glass.

This is an example of "Upcycling", the term uptown to take garbage and make it pretty if not practical, said Kate Schneider, organizer of the event. "Upcycling takes things that would normally be discarded and creation of useful, beautiful, fun stuff.
