I did it! The "trick" for me was to make sure the flame was not very big and heat just on the areas I wanted to twist. If I got to close to the heat it would just twist up like a straw. Finding the right spot above the flame and not leaving it there too long. It took me a few tries and even after I thought I had it I still messed up. but the ones that did turn out were so worth it.
Thank-you for the Tut!

I love it! And I have a teenage daughter who is obsessed with lighting candles (and then putting them out so she can light them again, and then putting them out... I think she's a bit of a pyromaniac, actually!), so, hey.... mother-daughter bonding ritual!

What a brilliant idea! When I was growing up we had dainty plastic icicles for our tree and every couple of years I've looked for something similar for my own tree. It would have never occured to me to make some out of coke bottles, thanks!

This is awesome, my mum had a load of candles lit in the living room an we always have plastic bottles so i gave it a go!! Some of them went really weird but i like how the edges bubble and look crystalized!!
Great Idea, i'd never have thought of it.

thank you for all the faves and nice comments! I've made another bunch today and experimented a little to see what could go wrong. Here's the summary:
-plastic strips wider than 1.5cm: BAD. They'll wrap around themselves and look clumped and awful. 1cm looked best.
-trying to twist them before they are soft and heating them afterwards: BAD. They WILL twist, but at weird angles.
Basically there are two methods that work: one turn at a time, letting it cool in between (safest but takes longer), or in one continuous motion. That's what I described in the how-to (I found out that it's easier to twist them at the thin end, where you start, when you use this method)
I hope that helped you! If I ever figure out how to make a video, I'll post one (working on it ^^)

Beautiful! Beautiful! Beautiful! I'm making these with my 8 yr old for a fund raiser. Your tutorial was clear & easy to follow. What a brilliant & beautiful way to recycle bottle! These will defiantly be more treasured than the nickel we would get returning the bottles.

I've made over 60. I've put some on a hanging chandelier/mobile thing and the rest are on a garland ready for my windows. I glittered the ones on the chandelier for an extra frosty look, and I'm making more for my tree (just ran out bottles ^^)
Thank you for this tutorial Happy
