Brilio.net - Syrup-based drinks are often the choice to refresh yourself throughout the day. These syrups are usually packaged in glass bottles that are not only functional but also have their own aesthetic value.
Once the bottles are empty, there are many creative ways to reuse them instead of throwing them away. One common reuse idea is to use them as storage containers for various household purposes, such as storing cooking oil or coconut oil.
The process of transforming a syrup bottle into a glass has been demonstrated by a YouTube user named Jarot Technique in one of his videos, offering inspiration for those interested in trying this interesting recycling project.
Just prepare a few tools, namely used syrup bottles , thread, matches, and a bucket for the soaking water container.
As reported by BrilioFood from YouTube Jarot Technique on Friday (11/10), first clean the syrup bottle that will be used. For maximum cleanliness, rinse several times. After that, drain and dry the syrup bottle.
In order for the resulting glass shape to be neat, the syrup bottle must be cut first. Not with special tools, this netizen only relies on thread.
"So we roll the thread into the glass bottle, okay? Roll it several times until the thread is quite thick," he explained.

After the roll is thick enough and neat, pour gasoline onto the thread roll. Make sure the gasoline hits the entire surface of the thread, okay?
"The main thing is that no part of the thread is missed," he explained.

Once done, place the syrup bottle on a flat surface. Then light the fire and burn the thread on the surface of the syrup bottle.
"Try to find a flat place with not much wind. Wait until the fire goes out by itself," he explained.

Once the fire is out, immediately put the syrup bottle into a bucket of plain water. Swirl the syrup bottle until it splits by itself.
"If we remove the thread like this and the result is quite neat, yes," he said.

Take the bottom of the syrup bottle and trim the edges. Rub the edges with a sheet of sandpaper.
"Use sandpaper on the rough part, rub it until it becomes smooth," he said further.

Once the edges feel smooth, the glass can be washed clean and reused. This way, you can get a new glass, right?
