How A Vase Becomes A Cloche

I had purchased this pillar candle holder when I went to the Pottery Barn Outlet back in August.  It’s a good size all around to be a base for a cloche and that was my intention when I bought it. 

It was just this weekend that I realized I had a vase that was put away with my Halloween decorations that would actually work as the cloche.  It just needed a knob of some kind on the top, so I pulled out what I had on hand.  Here are the models for you.

Round wooden ball

Wooden finial

Glass knob

I decided to go with a glass knob that I had left over from when I painted my pine armoire black and changed out the original wood knobs to glass knobs.  This looks the best out of the three, I think.

I used a glass adhesive because all those glass vases and candleholders that I glued together last year with other adhesives came apart!  That was not fun!  Now I make sure I have a glass adhesive on hand, and that was how I fixed all the other hurricanes and such I made last year.

I used one of the Fall pinecone fillers I bought last year in it and put it on my entry foyer chest.

 

Done!  What do you think?  A cloche from a vase.  I love it!  So next time Marty at A Stroll Thru Life has a cloche party ~ I’m ready!
