WONDERFUL GLASS FLOWER PROJECT

This is a super easy project which is lots of fun to do.  So get cracking to yard sales, garage sales, or search in your back cupboards and find some of those old glass plates you haven't used for years.  My favorite place to go is Bibles for Missions where I can find a whole slew of different glassware so reasonable!  I got all my glass for this project for under $10.00!

To start the project you need at least four to five different pieces of glassware - keep in mind some of your color combinations. Clear glass plates provide a nice balance to deeper colored glass plates.


These are the five pieces I started with.  Since the center of my plates were never going to be seen, it was important to find pieces that had interesting edges.  






Begin by nesting different sized pieces together.  No less than four glass pieces should be used.  

Starting with the largest plate, which is my clear glass smooth one, use epoxy glue to adhere the dishes together.

Each of my pieces have been epoxied together.  Give it at least 24 hours for the glue to be completely dry.  My finished nesting plates

 use a plate stand like I have

Finished project in my garden.  To spruce it up a bit, you can add brooches, or shot glasses and vases of different sizes to add to your piece to make it more colorful
