Glass Cloche Repurposed From Thrift Store Finds

Glass Cloche Repurposed From Thrift Store Finds. Welcome to LilacsNDreams Second Time Treasures! Happy to have you here viewing, and remember you are welcome to share, and comment with my postings too. Would be glad to have you share with all of us. 

This item came from a Thrift Store find on Friday from a Missions Place I like to visit, and donate to also. I had gotten another glass piece I was going to use for the knob, but had this one on hand, and it seem to fit the size and character of this piece a little bit more. So, this is how it looked before I repurposed it.  

Here is how the item looks completed from repurposing with different pieces. I glued the glass piece on top of this glass vase giving it a knob, and making this a glass cloche. I let this sit for at least 48 hours to make sure the glue dried, and cured. During that time I went through other pieces I have around the home...my stash:) I found this Anchor Hocking Green Vase that is a small mini size. I then took a bundle of pink flowers I had, and cut some of the stems away from it to make this small bouquet to put inside the Green Vase by Anchor Hocking. This is the completed product that I will be offering for sale in my store at Artfire. Before I list any products for my Artfire Store I am working on completing a few products to add to the inventory along with some other vintage pieces I also have to be added with the vintage inventory. 

Thanks so much for visiting with Second Time Treasures today. Was glad to have you, and to be able to share with you. I have another project I started tonight. I have glued 1 piece, and that will have to sit to dry completely. I will then be attaching that piece to another, adding a small bowl to it that I will leave loose, and not glue. I am making a tier plate from a matching plate, and saucer. I have the before picture, and soon will have a completed picture for you with this also. Hopefully it will be completed within a couple of days. 

Thanks again everyone, and take care. Till the next time.

Repurposed Glass Cloches at LilacsNDreams Second Time Treasures

Here is the glass cloche seen below with a different plate I have not added to it, and it can be seen listed with my Artfire Store. 

Now, from thrifting on Friday, these are the pieces I am putting together to make a glass cloche. This is a glass vase, and the smaller piece showing I have attached for the knob on top of this piece making the cloche. When I have the finished product I will picture it for ya'll to see. I got some other ideas to go with it yet too. Have to try them out, play a bit first.

LilacsNDreams Second Time Treasures Before and After

Welcome to LilacsNDreams Second Time Treasures. Hope you will enjoy your visit. I am gonna show you just a few pictures to a couple of items I have repurposed, and they are listed for sale with my store at Artfire too. As time goes along you will see that I tend to favor glassware items a little bit more. I believe it is out of habit, not sure, but I enjoy what I do:)

 My first attempt at making a glass cloche with different pieces. I started with a glass bowl I found.

I then found this little ceramic piece that I repurposed, and decorated to make the handle, or knob for the top of the glass cloche.

This is a final of what is being offered for sale at Artfire. Only difference is the plate is being changed under it, and I have to take new pictures to show this at my Artfire Store. The knob had some white satin lace added around it. I then added soft pink bows to that. The center piece is a ceramic piece with doves, and the colored flowers in the pot area were added by me. This will all come together with the plate offered in the sale. 

With this project I used a plate, and a glass chandelier cover with some etch work in the glass. Some blue ribbon, pink flowers, and a glass votive not pictured is included to make this piece a.........

One-of-a-kind candle holder to adorn the home with any room in the home too. This item can be found with my Artfire Store for sale.
