  • Broken Glass or Mirror
    Fishing line Or Ribbon
    Tin Can Top
    Glue
    Fabric Paint
    Small nail and a hammer

1.Glue two pieces of broken mirror or glass back to back with either fishing line or ribbon in between.


2.Punch small holes with the hammer and nail into the tin can top.


3.Run the fishing line through the holes and tie. Add as many as you like in various lengths.


4.Decorate around the edges with the fabric paint. This will seal off any sharp edges. You can use a close pin to hold the piece until it dries.

Even if it is dangerous, but you've got to admit it. It IS very pretty (as long as you are wearing thick gloves and safety goggles) :)

good but it has to be with some "color" on it, otherwise useless

Broken glass is an excellent idea! Take away the danger: *Use Silicone sealer or *Lead light, to border the sharp edges. Imagine the different angles of reflection when the wind blows it!

This is potentially a dangerous idea and some craft ideas look like you are crafting for the sake of crafting.

Broken glass is a bad idea! Try selling that at a fair & imagine a child or adult grabbing it & getting cut up. Big problem!9615

Using safety googles wrap the glass up in a cloth and gently tap it with a hammer until it breaks. Make sure you are wearing some thick work gloves.
