Juice Glass Pedestals

Once a juice glass or other glass from a set gets broken its no longer a set. Those remaining glasses dont have to be all alone. They can quickly become gorgeous d?cor pieces like pedestals, candle holders and more.

The juice glass d?cor pieces can be made to be elegant, whimsical, floral or even a particular theme. Use things you already have around your house to make the d?cor pieces or purchase a few inexpensive craft supplies to create the exact pedestal or candle holder you want.

Juice glasses and even drinking glasses work well to make the pedestals. Ones that are clear or have subdued patterns are ideal. Clear glasses allow you to create a scene inside that can be plainly seen. Glasses with patterns and colors should be ones that still allow others to see the design inside. No matter what type of pedestal or candle holder you want to make youll start by drawing around the mouth of the glass onto a piece of cardboard. Now decide if you will make the pedestal using the glass in its normal manner or if youll make one from an upside-down juice glass. To make an upside-down type create the arrangement on the cardboard itself. To make a design using the glass as it normally sits create the arrangement on the inside bottom of the glass. Something as simple as a fake flower can turn the juice glass into a beautiful pedestal or candle holder. Set the flower inside the glass or attach it to the cardboard. These are great for setting in the kitchen or on a holiday table. They can hold plates of desserts or bowls of candy. A stuffed animal is another way to make a nice pedestal in minutes. There are lots of different things you can put inside the juice glass to create something stunning. Miniatures, novelty characters, beads, foil balls, fake or real candy, glitter, shells, marbles, confetti or even an ornament are all things you can use to create the design you want. Use these things to make holiday pedestals, bookends for a childs room, candle holders for the bathroom, a pedestal for a statuette and much more. Just glue the cardboard piece over the mouth of the juice glass and youre finished! Most pillar candles, votives and tea lights can sit on the pedestal unassisted. Use double-sided tape, which is easy to remove, to secure platters, plates and bowls. If you want to make the juice glass d?cor pieces in a manner that allows you to change the scene inside when you want use dots of double-sided tape or hot glue to secure the cardboard to the glass.
