DIY Sea Glass Bowl

It wouldn’t be summer if I didn’t create some type of beachy coastal décor piece and this one is a quick and easy. The sea glass is from a floral arrangement I received years ago. The vase was filled with these beautiful glass chips and of course I washed and saved them.
And if anything’s going to survive in a small bowl, it’s a succulent. So far, so good. The bowl is in my office near a sunny window and it’s still alive.
Here's how I made this little bowl I picked up a few more dollar store white bowls and simply hot glued the glass to the bowl. For a more permanent solution I’d use E6000 or Beacon glue
For now, the hot glue is holding and should last through the summer months. After that – I may pop off the glass and give this little bowl a fall makeover.
The sea glass looks even prettier in a sunlit window.

    Question? Ok, a bowl of course is a curved surface so how do you get flat sea glass to your on?

    I'm hearing some great ideas for art pieces here. Very inspirational! But I love the sea glass dish, and I do tile work, so it makes me want to do some tile work with sea glass and grout it for a more permanent and beautiful piece. Thanks everyone!

    I am inspired by this simple but beautiful project with sea glass, & will definitely try it! If I EnJoY doing that one, I will try try a larger & more complex art piece, perhaps on canvas! THANKS for such great ideas, I LOVE sea glass! 💙💚💙
