A Display of Love

IMG_9290.jpg

While viewing Restoration Hardware’s spring 2016 online catalog of decor items, we noticed glass cloches filled with collectible objects and thought they’d make an easy & personal decor piece. These were the inspiration for this subtle & quick Valentine’s decoration. It’s a nice addition to a winter table-scape decor.

Gather Materials and Tools.

Materials & Tools

  • Alphabet buttons—we used the word “love"
  • Wood skewer sticks
  • Spray paint
  • Sculpey clay or any non-hardening clay (non-hardening so everything is removal so the glass dome can be used again)
  • Glass dome with bottom
  • Glue—I used hot glue
  • Scissors or wire cutters (something to cut the wood skewers)
  • About a 1/2 cup of vase filler—we used plastic “ice” & flat marbles

Glue Letters to Sticks, Let Dry.

Cover Bottom of Dome Base With About a 1/4” Thickness of Clay.
