Using a Vase and a Globe for Decorative Garden Art

What to do with all of those vases that seem to multiple under the sink? You can’t get rid of them, no one wants them. So why not make something using them?

Step 1: Glue vase to a globe. Use a weather proof glue since it will be outside. If you don’t have any vases, you can usually find them for around 25 cents at yard sales. Globes are a little harder to find, but you can get them for around $1. You might even find something else that would work as a top if you can’t find a globe.

Step 2: I tried many products to use on my piece. When I made my globe shades, I had problems with the stones sliding down with the glue I used. This glue need to be clear so light would shine through. You can see this project here. ( http://eclecticredbarn.blogspot.com/2015/06/globe-light-as-solar-light-cover.html)
The product I decided to use was Thin set Mortar. You can mix the amount you need and it holds your stones or glass almost immediately. Also, if you have some thinner pieces, you can make them all the same height by adding more thin set.
