How can I upcycle the globes from my ceiling fan?
replaced the ceiling fans in a couple rooms and upcycled the blades, but now I need an idea for the individual globes. Any thoughts?

Repurposing old light fixture globes -- ideas?
Hi Mary,
I used mine to make the tops of garden mushrooms. I used old vases to be the mushroom stem. I painted the top red with white dots and the vase brown with black & light brown "streaks" to sort of give it depth. Then I sprayed a sealer on both parts and glued them together. Here's a pic of the ones I did. Wishing you the best.

I've seen many of them decorated with the colored flat marbles available from DollarTree and placed either in the garden. With a tea light or LED light placed inside they can be quite beautiful. Just hot glue or use E6000 to adhere the glass marbles to the glass globe. Think mine and previous examples were of the round globes that are open on the bottom.
