Need creative ideas.

16 years ago

I found this sitting next to a trash can yesterday morning as I was taking the furkid for her morning walk. Three of the pieces were broken off and laying in the center.

Each individual piece is about one and a half inches wide and two to three inches long. I don't have a way to drill a hole in the pieces for hanging.

    This picture isn't great but gives a better idea of what they are. There are 21 of the individual glass pieces. I've broken them all off the base now, just need to find a use for them. If I can't come up with something I'll put them out by my trash can. Maybe the next person who picks them up will be more ceative than I am. LOL

    I think you could epoxy them to glass flowers or totems or around a mirror frame. I like those. I will have to check them out at the store.

    Somebody here a while ago posted a ceramic tea pot they'd hung (tipped up as though it were pouring) on a fence to be used as a bird house. They had a crystal much like the ones you found hanging out of the spout as if it were pouring liquid. It looked really cute.

    These are really heavy. I suppose I could wrap one in some wire and then hang them.

    Grannytoo, Wrapping them in colored wire(Joanne's) & using a ring to attach them(rings were used in macrame projects years ago) probably find some at TS or yard sales about 5 or 6 in.diameter & stagger the lengths, could put wire or fishing line across center & drop a fork or bell shape for them to hit against.(The wire wrapped glass would be attached to ring & glass with fishing line so it would move in the wind) Think it would look really nice.

    I had something similar to those. Mine had holes in them though.
    I strung them in my tree over the deck. I loved it when the sun peaked through and they caught the light.
    Make sure you hang them high if you do this though, they become dangerous in high winds. lol

    I bought a material recently at Ace Hardware to plug up several 1/4 inch holes in a 55 gallon rain barrel. I can't remember the name of the material but you knead the putty until it changes color, then stick it to something and in 45 minutes it is dried like cement and waterproof.

    Maybe you could use this material to attach a fine grade wire, maybe copper or even just thin galvanized steel, to the individual glass pieces. Attach the wire or clear plastic string and suspend these from trees and bushes as garden decorations/light catchers.
