Materials :
1 * glass
1 * brass reduction 3/4"-1/2"

Tips :
* old or antique crystal glasses can easily be found on flee-markets
* the brass reduction parts can easily be found in sanitary shops or DIY markets
Step 1: Paint the Brass Part With a Spray Can
Tip : elevate the part onto (eg) a box, so you can paint it while keeping the spray-can upright.
Step 2: Glue Brass Ring Onto Glass
Use transparent contact glue :
apply glue onto the metal part,
join the part and the glass,
remove them,
apply extra glue on both sides,
let dry for 10..20 minutes
join parts.

Wow what a really smart idea by using only simple and easy to get materials. I think this idea is perfect to replace my old silver candelabra that have been sitting on the table for quite sometime now. It is time to revamp the area to prepare for the festive period.
