- Screw a 1/2" floor flange
(found in plumbing section) onto a 1/2" threaded metal rod.
- Using goop, glue a wineglass to the
flat side of the flange. For extra stability wrap 18 gauge
wire around the rod and glass to hold it in place using needle nose
pliers to curl the ends of wire.
- Attach flat marbles to the glass
with goop. Use thinner wire to attach beads.
- A bedspring coils around the
glass in the middle one. Wire was coiled around the spring and spray
painted gold. The glass stem was slipped through the coil and
wired to the flange.
Blue plastic coated wire is used on the one in right of picture.
- Plain pipe with threaded ends can
also be used and is less expensive.
-
Insert a clear votive holder and candle or a tea light in the wine glass.
-
Push rod into the ground. In our drought-stricken area that is easier said than
done! Drive a foot piece of plain pipe that is slightly bigger in diameter
halfway into the ground. Insert the candleholder end into the pipe.
