Crafty Glass Ideas

January 2025

I imagine many of my readers (and buyers) are followers of vintage on Pinterest. I am not super-crafty, so I love looking at other people’s creative, super-inventive ideas of recycling old glass and glassware. I have a whole folder of “saved” images from Pinterest and FaceBook of recycled glass projects I hope to give a try at in the future, but I thought in this month’s blog article I would share a few of these craft projects.

OLD GLASS DOOR KNOBS

I “love, love, love” this idea especially because I feel confident I can make one. Take one old brass lamp base that looks like plant stems (no longer wired) and add 3 vintage glass door knobs (glue in the old socket holders). What a great centerpiece idea! (Old glass knobs came in colors too, so the ideas are endless.)

OLD BLUE GLASS VASES

This project also seems relatively uncomplicated to complete. Grab a handful of old vases of varying sizes (this one is done in cobalt blue, but many colors would work), clear flat glass plates of varying sizes (enough to go between each vase) and glue together to make this “Glass Porch Flower."
