christmas decoration

20 years ago

Here is a decoration I am making as gifts they are truly beautiful in any colors you wish. The top is a fish bowl with glass half marbles glued on, I then will set it upside down on an upside down clay pot, shove a string of christmas lights up thru the hole and voila! I did one in blue and white previously and loved it so much I had to make them for christmas. They cast beautiful patterns onto the wall. They can be night lights, christmas decorations, garden decor.

These are absolutely beautiful. I love the multi-colored one. It sure picks up the light. What kind of glue did you use? My beads slid off when I put a lighted tealight inside and the glue melted. Thanks.

Hugs,
Granny

Granny-used Bond 527 from walmart. dries very hard. and the christmas light strings are a lot cooler than a tea light.
The glue took a bit to get tacky, I glued the marbles and let them set a few mintues before sticking them on,once they dry, they are set for life. LOL.
also, the christmas lights cast the light very differently than from a single source. The blue one on the left has a single nightlight bulb in it, not near as pretty.
