Renewing Old Glassware: Easy Decorative Craft

This post may contain affiliate links. See my disclosure policy for more details.

Do you have unused glass candlesticks and vases hanging around? Well, here is an easy craft that will make for a beautiful centerpiece! I came across this idea from Myra at My Blessed Life several months ago. I finally got around to making my own pretty centerpiece!

What you need:

Glass candlesticks
Glas vases or bowls
Epoxy, Glass or Gorilla Glue

glassware

I had one of the glass bowls already. The other pieces I bought from a junk shop for $2.50 total. The glue I bought at Michael’s with a 50% off coupon making it just $2!

Wash and dry the glassware. Match up the candlestick with the vase or bowl you want to use. Make sure they fit well together and that there is a flat surface on the candlestick. Apply a small amount of the glue to the candlestick and then place the vase on top.

Balance a book on top of the glass. The glue I used (glass glue) said to dry in full sunlight for about 30 minutes.

When your project is dry, it’s time to fill the vase or bowl!

Ester Decoration

What I love about this project is that it can be used for every season. Currently I have plastic eggs and jelly beans for Easter. Pine cones, candles, gourds, glass ball ornaments and so much more will probably find their way into these glass bowls!

I plan on making a few more that are taller hurricane shaped out of vases.
