I love Flowers! So of course I had to create these beautiful recycled glass plate and bowl flowers !
Especially living here in Texas it's hard to keep our plants thriving during the Hot Summer months !
These are perfect for that whimsical touch and best of all they don't need any watering! 😂
Supplies you need
• glass plates
Glass bowls whatever you can find that appeals to you !
I look for mine at resale shops, Garage sales any place you can find them at a reasonable price.
• paint whatever color you choose
• hot glue
• E-6000 glue
• an empty salt or pepper shaker
• dowel or rebar even a good solid branch will work too!
I picked the color orange and painted a circle about the width of the bowl I'm going to glue on .
I wanted it to have more of a Fall feel to this glass flower.
That's where you can get creative and pick whatever color paint you want to use .
While it was still wet I sprinkled a little diamond dust glitter to give it that extra sparkle!
It's already looking pretty!
I then used my E- 6000 glue and put it around the edge of my top bowl .
I gave it a nice thick layer and I also put a little hot glue here and there to help hold it in place while the E-6000 can dry.
For the best hold let this set for 24 to 48 hrs trust me if you let it set it will hold really well !
I decided to also glue my salt shaker to the back of my plate this will be for the dowel , branch or rebar you will use to stick outside ..
Do the same thing as before add the E-6000 and a little hot glue and then stick your salt shaker on .
I get these shakers at Dollar General usually 2 for $1 .
Once you glue this on find a place for you to let it set overnight.
It's done and ready to put outside ! I just love these !
I stuck mine out and it went through all of our Hot weather some days 110 degrees and it never came off .
That's why it's important to really let it set for 24 to 48 hrs I actually did mine for 48 hrs I wanted to make sure everything was dry !
I just love them ! I hope you give these a try !
