About: We're Mother Daughter Projects, sharing our DIY adventures as we learn to maintain, improve, decorate, and use tech in our homes.
While viewing Restoration Hardware’s spring 2016 online catalog of decor items, we noticed glass cloches filled with collectible objects and thought they’d make an easy & personal decor piece. These were the inspiration for this subtle & quick Valentine’s decoration. It’s a nice addition to a winter table-scape decor.
Step 1: Gather Materials and Tools.
Materials & Tools
- Alphabet buttons—we used the word “love"
- Wood skewer sticks
- Spray paint
- Sculpey clay or any non-hardening clay (non-hardening so everything is removal so the glass dome can be used again)
- Glass dome with bottom
- Glue—I used hot glue
- Scissors or wire cutters (something to cut the wood skewers)
- About a 1/2 cup of vase filler—we used plastic “ice” & flat marbles
Step 2: Glue Letters to Sticks, Let Dry.
- Cut sticks so they fit inside dome
- Spray paint letters/sticks, let dry
Step 3: Cover Bottom of Dome Base With About a 1/4” Thickness of Clay.
Step 4: Place Sticks Into Clay, Check Placement to Be Sure They Fit Under the Dome.
Step 5: Pour Vase Filler Into Glass Dome; Carefully Place Dome Over Wood Base.
Step 6: Done!
