Colored Glass Bud Vases

"I love all the colored glass in the shops at the moment. I thought I'd make my own as you can pick up clear cut glasses really cheaply in your local thrift store. I bought 3 clear glasses of a similar size and used paint to color them a raspberry color. I then made a lovely custom tray for them just using a couple of pieces of scrap pallet wood and a drill saw. The colored glasses make lovely bud vases and look so beautiful on my mantle. These would also make a great Mothers day gift."

Materials List

• clear cut glasses from a thrift store
