And now, Serome, you've got basically a glass factory here.

So what's this all about?

>>Well, today, I just thought I would do a free-purpose project.

Everybody have ample amount of glass, and have dishes that Aunt Sue gave you, and you don't know quite what to do with and you don't want to use it, but sentimental value, you wanna keep it, or you find pieces that you really like.

Going with a mushroom theme, we can make glass mushrooms that you can use in your home or your garden.

>>Love it.

I love it.

>>A very, very simple project to do that's feasible for people.

When you mention art projects, most people get a little scared 'cause they say they can't do this, but this is very easy and feasible for people and you can even bring your kids into it.

So all you need is something like a vase.

So if you have vases laying around, in floral industry, vases are disposable.

So there's lots of vases that end up in the landfill.

So why not reuse them if you can?

You can use bowls or different glass plates, recycled bottles.

So if you have bottles, you can even use those.

And then, all you need is something like epoxy or a adhesive, I prefer to use clear adhesive.

And if you're gonna use this for outdoors, make sure it is for outdoor use.

>>Yes, I had experience with that.

>>Yeah, you've got to make sure it is for outdoor use.

But basic project is you just go through, for starters, make sure that the glass is clean.

So use a glass cleaner, make sure the glass is clean 'cause you don't want any of the dust or residue still on there just because the glue will just stick to that as opposed to the glass.

>>Okay.

>>So you wanna make sure that that is clean.

Have your vase, and then if you have a bowl, basic shape, mushrooms, normally see them either just a upright bottom or flared bottom and a domed-type top.

>>There you go.

>>Mushroom grows in many different forms and different shapes, but if you're looking at it, you basically see a dome top with a base, so that automatically reads mushroom.

>>Perfect.

>>So I'm gonna set this one aside because I am going to work on this just because I wanna get a little more complicated.

>>Right, and we all know that vase.

>>Yes, again, floral industry, go to hospital stays, anything, you're gonna see this type of vase a lot.

And what I'm going to do here is I'm actually gonna invert this one.

Make sure that you can see the top, 'cause sometimes the bottoms of vases have a little indention, and you want the adhesive to stick to most of this surface.

>>Yes.

>>So set this aside.

And all we have to do is- >>I'm gonna do mine while you do yours.

>>Yep.

>>Okay?

>>So just follow along the edge.

>>Oh, do we wanna put a generous amount?

>>You wanna put a generous amount.

>>Okay.

>>Wanna follow just along the edge of this.

>>My experience with this is if it comes apart, you have to clean the old glue off to put new glue on.

>>Yes, again, just because the adhesive is going to stick to whatever it touches first.

>>Right, and it fell apart after like 10 years, so it wasn't a short... Okay, I've got my glue on.

>>Got the glue on?

>>Mm-hmm.

>>And then, close this top.

Then basically, again, just sticking it on, making sure that it has good contact.

>>Yep, okay.

Even wiggled a little.

>>Yep.

>>Okay.

>>Get this wiggled in.

>>Voila!

And it's centered.

Yeah.

>>And, again, it's just a easy, basic project.

If you do use something like this where it's inverted and you got a hollow bottom and you wanna use it in your garden, simply use a garden stake that you can cut, piece of bamboo or branch, or anything that you can put in the ground, and then you can just simply put it in, and then that way it will help hold it in place.

>>Genius.

Absolutely genius.

>>If you've got a solid bottom, then just make sure you got it on a level surface.

>>Mm-hmm.

>>You can set it out.

Then, depending on how you make it, like this one, right here, has an open top, so you're able to just take the top off and feed lights through.

>>Yes, you glued a metal top to that so that it became a cap almost.

>>Exactly.

>>So that you could access it, yes.

>>So you can just pull that off and put lights inside of it.

Or this one, right here, that has a light tube built inside.

And the way this one is made is it's all glued onto a piece of slate and I used to decorate moss around this to give it a more natural feeling.

And I found this container here, so I was able to put a plant in it.

>>Fantastic!

>>So you got a nice, little centerpiece for your table that you can use.

You got a little accent light.

And, like I said, it just comes right off and it has a light built inside.

>>Fantastic, Serome!

I think this is a great idea, and I think it's a way of repurposing, reusing, which we're all about.

>>Yes.

>>And having some fun in the garden as well.

>>Exactly.

>>So thank you.

Thank you for sharing this.

>>You're welcome.

Thank you.

>>Mm-hmm.
