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
