I wanted to share today some more garden art I made. It’s my Painted Glass Garden Art project. This is a great upcycling project since it’s made from glass pieces bought at thrift stores.
Supplies Needed:
Threaded rod
Coupling nuts
Spray Paint
Glass pieces
E6000 Glue
Glass Paint
I hit the thrift stores on the hunt for some interesting shaped glass pieces. You will need two pieces-a small one and a larger one. Here are the pieces I found.
I painted my first piece with the glass paint and I didn’t like the sheerness of it. So I went to the garage and grabbed my spray paint stash and started spraying my pieces.
Once the paint was dry I embellished my pieces using the glass paint.
Once that was dry I glued the center piece onto the plate with E6000.
Then I took my coupling nut and glued it on the back of my plate.
And screwed in the threaded rod.
NOTE: if you are using a heavier plate buy a thicker threaded rod. They have lots of different sizes.
Here are the pieces I made!
