While viewing Restoration Hardware’s spring 2016 online catalog of decor items,  I noticed glass cloches filled with collectible objects and thought they’d make an easy & personal decor piece. These were the inspiration for this subtle & quick Valentine’s decoration. It’s a nice addition to my winter table-scape decor.

Materials & Tools

• Alphabet buttons—I used the word “love"
• Wood skewer sticks
• Spray paint
• Sculpey clay or any non-hardening clay (non-hardening so everything is removal so the glass dome can be used again)
• Glass dome with bottom
• Glue—I used hot glue
• Scissors or wire cutters (something to cut the wood skewers)
• About a 1/2 cup of vase filler—I used plastic “ice” & flat marbles

Steps

1. Glue letters to sticks, let dry
2. Cut sticks so they fit inside dome
3. Spray paint letters/sticks, let dry
4. Cover bottom of dome base with about a 1/4” thickness of clay
5. Place sticks into clay, check placement to be sure they fit under the dome
6. Pour vase filler into glass dome; carefully place dome over wood base
