How do you do this: How do you break champagne bottles safely in order to use the shards to make faux sea glass?
You place the champagne bottle in a plastic bag and tie the bag shut. Then, put the bag in a large bucket with tall sides. Put on some thick work gloves and a pair of goggles. Finally, hit the champagne bottle in the bag repeatedly with a hammer until it is broken into small pieces inside the bag. Empty the shards inside the bag into the bucket.
