Cloche (Bell Jar)

When I came across Laura Bloggers post on Cloches I thought - neat I want to try, so off to goodwill i went and purchased an assortment of candlestick holders.
After washing, removing stickers I sandpapered the tops of the standing candlesticks and the bottoms of the small "flower-like" candlesticks then glued with Craft Arte that iI had on hand.
Pieces glued together - let them sit for about 30 minutes just to be sure.
I liked the glass but wanted to try to spray paint them.
I also knew that I wanted to be able to change the inside decorations so I couldn't glue the glass cover to the candlestick so I cut a thin piece of felt and glued that to the top of the candlestick - now the glass top won't slide off.
The glass tops are stemless wine glasses with a half marble glued to the top. The yellow eggs inside started as plastic eggs that I glued yellow yarn to then drew branches and glued tiny flowers and sequins.
These are the plastic eggs I made with warm water and nail polish - you can find the directions on my other post.
