DIY Glass Snowman
Is this thrift store flip "Craft" or "Crap"? Watch me transform old glass dishes and a vintage toothpick holder into a glowing crystal snowman for this fun DIY challenge!
Yield: 1 snowman
Cost: $3-10
Equipment
- Rubbing Alcohol Cleaning
- Paper Towels
- Blue Painter's Tape (to hold glass in place)
Materials
- 3 Glass Candle Holders or Bowls Small, Medium, Large
- 1 Glass Votive Coaster, or Toothpick Holder (for the hat)
- E6000 Adhesive
- Battery-Operated Tealight
- Optional: Buttons Ribbon, or Twigs for decor
Instructions
- Prep: Clean all glass surfaces with rubbing alcohol to remove dust and oils.
- Base: Apply a generous ring of E6000 glue to the top rim of the largest candle holder.
- Body: Place the medium candle holder on top of the base. Repeat this step to add the smallest candle holder (the head) on top.
- Hat: Apply glue to the rim of your "hat" piece (votive or toothpick holder) and center it on the snowman's head.
- Secure: If the glass is slippery, use strips of blue painter's tape to hold the stack straight.
- Cure: Let the snowman sit undisturbed for 24 hours.
- Light: Place a battery-operated tealight under the base to light him up!
