This Large Budweiser Bottle is about 18″ high. I fused it with the goal of preserving the embossed lettering. Someone gave me this bottle at my last Craft Fair and wanted me to fuse it flat and see what happened.
Here is a close-up of the “Budweiser” lettering. I am very happy with how it turned out! The “Budweiser” lettering did not melt into the rest of the bottle and it fused flat very nicely.
I have another Craft Fair this weekend and I will be giving this bottle to the lady who gave it to me. She has a booth at the Craft Fair, too. I hope she likes it!
She told me she is bringing some more bottles for me to keep and do whatever I want with them. I can’t wait to see what she is going to give me!!

Christine, that is so clever. How did you manage to retain the embossing? Do you mind sharing?

Hi Sheryl,
Thanks for the compliment! All I did was fuse the bottle at a cooler temp. than I usually do and held it longer. I think I fused it at 1450 degrees and held it for 20 minutes. I kept my eye on it at this temp. to make sure I didn’t go too far.
