O.k so I can not afford to buy hanging crystals like i've sen them in all their glory. Some people can, I can't. So I have been making my own Manzanita centerpieces and in that I saw that people add broken glass to the base for added
sparkle and shimmer. A little bag of that was $4.00 I wasn't going to buy that for all my centerpieces. I went to a local Los Angeles (Auto Glass) place and asked them what they did with their cracked glass. Long story short they gave me an entire box of
all their cracked glass. I put it on my centerpiece mock up and it looks great!!! |
I love the way it
shines like little diamonds all over the base. But I'm not done with the base yet. Still have to work in some moss and some orchids and what not. O.k, so one of the reasons I fell in love with Manzanita was the hanging crystals. I was sitting
at home watching wife swap today, and then it hit me!!!!!! I had that bouncy clear bracelet string that looks like fishing string! And I had a hot glue gun, and a ton of the crackled glass!!!!! So I'm like... let's try
it! and this is the only two that I've made so far.. Believe it or not it doesn't look bad at all!! I'm thinking of making a bunch of the strings and putting them up to see how the whole look will come out. But it shines so nice because the glass is
crackled. I'll wait and see if my FI Mitch shoots the idea.. But I really like it.
