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
