  • I found these lighting globes at the Goodwill for half off.
  • I started applying glass flat sided marbles(Dollar Tree) with this adhesive but they started sliding and I got impatient, so I went to hot glue. Worked great and no slipping.
  • Stones from Dollar Tree and a few engraved stones left over from my daughter's wedding.
  • Fast forward, six different globes.
  • After a few weeks of researching and shopping for the cheapest and best choice of grout, I found a bag for $2 at the Habitat Restore.  Messy job for indoors but snow outside made me do it in a large tub on my kitchen table.
  • This is the adhesive I used (always on hand, great stuff) to put a base on my globes since they are open on the bottom.I has silicone so it will be water tight.  I wanted to make them as outdoor friendly as possible.
  • Again, being the cheap-skate I am, I found lg. mason jar lids at the Habitat Restore. They fit over the opening perfectly.  I used plenty of adhesive around the ring and inside the ring sealing it completely.
  • Some only had the ring so I used some bottom pieces from old Tupperware parfait glasses.
  • After letting the bases dry over night(resting on plastic bowls,in the background), time for a paint job. To protect the globes, I cut circles in the bottom of grocery bags and taped them tight around the globes.
  • I had just enough left over paint from other projects to do the bases.
  • It was a bit colder outside than the paint recommends, but it dried fast.
  • Finished drying inside.
  • Now they sit upright and are water tight and weather protected. I think they are so cute.
  • After about 2 1/2 weeks and countless inches of snow, I can finally get outside to seal the grout. I used Thompsons water seal (had cedar colored  on hand).
  • I poured some in a plastic container and used a cheat chip brush to slather it on. Make sure you cover your table, this is messy.
  • And wear gloves.
  • Don't worry about the cloudy way the marbles look. Let them dry for a couple hours and wipe off the stones and marbles with an old cloth.
  • After a bit of elbow grease, they shine like new.
  • Now, find the perfect place for them in the garden.
  • Now if only my gardens recoup from the long, cold winter we've had.  Happy Spring, Everyone.

Garden Globes

After seeing so many posts on diy garden globes, I just had to try it. I started searching for old bowling balls but all I found were priced too high. Then little by little, it all came ...»
together and and I now have six garden globes that I just love. Hope you do too.

  • I wrapped burlap ribbon around the can and added a print of an old ledger paper.
  • This could be used for holding office supplies or at a wedding or shower as centerpieces.
  • This one is  feminine and pretty it could just as easily be added to your vanity to hold makeup brushes.
  • It could also be used for weddings, showers  or any girly event. 2

  • What a wine cork wreath looks like right after you make it.
  • If you're not a wino like me and just have a few corks there are other options! 1
  • What it looks like 10 years after you make it.

Ohh those versatile wine corks . . .

Put those corks to good use! I made a little tutorial for how to make a great looking wreath.
