  • Look for bone china tea cups at your local thrift shops. Many times they are thrown away if a saucer is missing. 2
  • Use just a tiny bit of soil in bottom of cup.
  • Add your Viola plant.
  • Firm the soil with your fingers.
  • I love the finished tea cup! 4

Great idea for Mothers day gift! Kids love making these.

Did you know that often a thrift shop throws away old tea cups if they are missing a saucer? This is how we recycle them .

  • Build a simple firepit with pavers and a firebowl. We got our firebowl from Lowe's for less than $80.
  • Stack pavers on level ground. We put ours on our concrete patio.
  • For a 35" firebowl we used 48 pavers and stacked them 4 layers high.
  • Easy to move if needed, simple and inexpensive! 1

  • I disassembled all of my collected lamps and laid out the globes to see approximately how much rebar I needed for the tower. 2
  • I used 3/8 inch rebar threaded through all of the pieces. I didn't end up using this base though. The actual construction was quite a bit of trial and error in 100+ temperatures! ARGH!!
  • I used the biggest globe and lamp base for the bottom of the tower. 2
  • I primed and painted all of the lamp pieces I was going to use between the globes. 1
  • I alternated the globe pieces with a lamp parts.  Initially I tried to use only the globes but didn't like
the way the glass rubbed and was afraid they would break. 2
  • After figuring out that the globes were too heavy for one tower, I made a second tower. 5
  • They are beautiful with the sun shinning through 12

My glass tower vision has been fulfilled! I built it!

I saw one of these in a magazine years ago and I've wanted one ever since. It took me several years to collect affordable pieces but after that it was pretty easy. Here is some of how I ...»
