Glass Yard Art

Making gorgeous yard art out of garage sale glass is so easy and inexpensive. Not much to it but collecting the perfect pieces and attaching them together.

The most important thing is the glue. I use Clear All - Purpose Silicone Sealant from WalMart in the "caulk-like" tube and a caulking gun. It's pretty much self-explanitory. Just put a generous bead of sealant around the edge of the piece your are attaching, press together and let dry. Just keep sealing and attaching pieces until you get the look you want.

I made a boat-load of these and sold the heck out of them at a local farmers market for $25.00 a piece. I probably had maybe $2.00 total invested in producing them. Good money maker!!!! And they attracted a LOT of attention with people wondering what they were!

Here are photos of just a few of mine to get your imagination flowing!

Aren't they beautiful?

So get to those garage sales and flea markets and snatch up those 25 cent glass peices and build a few of these for your yard!!!!

My first embroidered towel

Just did my first embroidery on a towel. I am very happy with how it turned out. Of course I couldn't JUST  monogram it....had to do some shabby embellishments.    What do you think?

WooHoo Finished My Fabric Stash

How fabulous and inspiring does fabric look organized like this. I had no idea how many fabrics I still had after downsizing my stash for the move to Florida. I only brought about a fifth of the fabric I had and this is over 200 different fabrics. I still have a complete tote full of more too. Wow, hard to believe how it collects for a fabricaholic like me...LOL.

Anyway, I just adore this storage and display method. If you miss my post on how to do it, here a link to the tutorial post!

Love to hear your comments and see links to pics of your re-organized fabric stash!
