Creating with Old Glass Dishes

posted in: Crafty's Projects, Whimsy | 8

I’ve got quite a collection of bits and pieces that came from garage sales, the back of the china cupboard or were given to me by friends who know I’ll make something with it.

This time I used a pretty dish from a garage sale, a couple of glass risers that were used on a multi tier cake and some other  little dishes.

I used silicone all purpose adhesive as I wanted it to dry clear.  After a few minutes I had a cute little trinket stand that stands on a dresser and is a catch all for little bits of jewelry.

The base is about 18 cm across and the height is about 20 cm.

I’ve also used this as a snack stand at family gatherings. Add your choice of snacks, desserts, or candy.

This was made a few years ago and recently came out from the back of the cupboard for a social gathering of our Creative Crafting group. This time it got filled with various fruits – blueberries, grapes and local strawberries.

Do you reuse old glass? Here are some more things I created.

    Oh my! I absolutely love what you’ve done with these pretty dishes. I need a centerpiece for my kitchen table and would love to try to make one of these. I know I have plenty of ‘supplies’…if you know what I mean! Enjoy your afternoon…thanks for the wonderful ideas!

      So nice to have you stop by Diane. Share a photo if you create a table center piece. Enjoy the weekend.
