Fire in my bathtub

Yes, my dear Void, you heard it right. There was a fire in my bathtub. I set that fire but let me explaine before the panic sets in.

No, I am not a pyromaniac, I was in the middle of my DIY project of cutting glass.
Since Im always short on vases, I decided to take on the home glasscutting and cut some old empty winebottles into vases. Just taking the top off and tadaa!!! There you go, metamorphosis! A vase!

Really all you need is a woollen yarn, nailpolish remover (I think anything with acetone would do), a glass bottle, matches and a bucket of cold water. You soak the yarn in the nailpolish remover, wrap it around the place on the bottle where you want it to break and set the yarn on fire. Then you wait until the flame dies and quickly dunk the bottle in the cold water. You should hear a loud cracking of the glass and there you go. Just be careful not to cut your hands with the shards that may have broken off.

But my larger fire (not just the soaked yarn) happened because I had accidentally spilled the nailpolish remover on the bottom of the tub. And when I lighted the match, it was boom! Bigger fire than I expected, but Im all safe and sound.

Now all I need is some sandpaper to smooth the edges of the new vases I made. Dont you just love DIY projects dear Void?
