Cut the bottle bottom using the glass cutter. Measure and mark the size of the bottle bottom you want to cut.

While the bearing surface is generally required for the production process, it may have various shapes. For non-circular containers, 3-point support is often used.

You can find one online without too many issues. Just be aware that while a “cheap” method of doing things, you’ll often need at least a 15-minute cycle to melt the glass.

Where can I find embossed markings?Glass can be found in a wide variety of highly saturated colors as well. This allows you to make more “modern” looking points, knives, and eccentrics than you can with the traditionally grey or brown chert varieties. Most of the more colorful jaspers and flints tend to require a bit of heat treatment to be flaked more uniformly as well. In short, glass works and it can look great depending on where you source it. I also find it less stressful to mess up with a bit of cullet glass than with obsidian or flint, but your mileage may vary. Start by cleaning the bottle with glass cleaner and a soft cloth.

Paint the glass with glass paint. You can use a brush or sponge to create a variety of patterns and designs. Allow the paint to dry completely. Once the paint has dried, use copper foil to wrap the edges of the glass. This will help hold the glass together and give it a finished look. The lead caming is a metal strip that will be used to hold the pieces of glass together. Use a lead came saw to cut the caming to the desired size and then use an epoxy to attach it to the glass.

Not to be dogmatic, but if you are looking for the most familiar expression, my personal opinion is to go with bottle-bottom glasses or glasses with bottle-bottom lenses. To make it even more colloqiual, perhaps substitute "glasses" with " specs". I have never heard "Coke bottle glasses", which sounds like an Americanised version of the same expression to me.
