How to Cut a Glass Coffee Pot
Having a coffee pot made of glass can be quite a delightful experience, but it might not always be the right choice for everyone. If you’re on the fence, you can get the look of a glass coffee pot without necessarily having to commit to the whole thing by cutting one into another shape. Here’s how to do that:
Gather the Materials
- Glass Coffee Pot
- Tape
- Glass Cutter
- Protective Gloves
- Safety Glasses
- Sandpaper
Method:
- Begin by marking off where you’d like to make the cut using tape.
- Next, place the glass cutter against the marked line and steadily press the wheel against the surface.
- Gently press down and move the wheel up and down along the line you marked.
- Once you have created a faint score, remove the tape.
- Place the pot in an area with a drop cloth or padded surface and drape with a towel.
- Gently tap the pot at the score you’ve made with a glass or metal mallet or hammer.
- Separate the pieces with a careful twist.
- Smooth out any sharp edges with sandpaper.
