This is my latest creation, a candle holder, courtesy of my friend Lucy's donated glasses. I painted the etched design with paint markers and added a little extra decoration around the stem and the bottom. I glued some greenery and a butterfly to a circle of printed paper, and then glued that to the bottom (well, actually the top!) of the glass. I then added some very thin green ribbon to the edge to cover up some of the hot glue excess.
Lucy gave me a box full of glasses like these in various shapes - wine, martini etc. I can see doing a lot with this idea and putting different kinds of things under the dome. Maybe a little figure of a bird, some seashells or holiday-specific items when appropriate!
