1. Illuminated Tablescape

One of my favorite ways to showcase my colored glass collection is by turning them into tablescapes. Whether it's vintage candy dishes or contemporary pieces, I pop in some twinkling lights or candles and let the magic happen. The result? A whimsical display that sets the perfect ambiance when entertaining guests.

Those big, colorful jugs aren't just for storing loose change; they're a statement piece in themselves. Let your kids have fun tossing coins in them, turning the mundane into a delightful activity.

4. Bud Vases Reimagined

Embracing the spirit of DIY extraordinaire Martha Stewart, I repurpose bud vases into chic containers for hand soap or dish soap. With a simple pour top, these colorful glass pieces transform into beautiful host gifts or stylish bathroom accessories.

    The decanters with fairy lights - Are they drilled? where are the switch boxes? I love this idea, how do I achieve it?
