How to Make a Faux Depression Glass Spring Vase

       When someone offers me old light fixtures I jump on it!

This is the light fixture that came out of my friend's bathroom remodel. 


Recently I made a sea glass colored candle using those beautiful flower shaped light globes. 


Today I'm using another one of the flower globes and a glass sugar dispenser to create a pretty Spring vase.

I made the secret recipe in yellow this time. 


You can find the recipe for teal blue mixture in the last post. 




Paint 2 coats letting it dry between coats.

It dries to a beautiful clear yellow and looks a lot like depression glass. 


I sprayed the finished pieces with a spray sealer.

I attached the flower top to the sugar container with E6000 glue then tied the center with a buffalo check ribbon.

    I see what you mean great minds think alike. Love your vases and a good example of an other way to colour them.

    Gosh Susan, I love them in yellow too. Still haven't tried it but this idea is still on my Must Try List! Pinned this one too 😊

    That is such a great repurpose of those two items and the color is perfect for spring.
