Awe, my mom owned a flower shop in the 80s-90s. She was famous for making those permanent flower vases. Although she had to use a product we could only buy at a particular floral wholesaler. Elmer's didn't sell clear glue back then. Of course, hers always included her signature (She added something that secretly let the world know she personally created her arrangements, bouquets, etc.) but I LOVE that the basic concept is coming back. 💜

The clear glue in the vase is a heck of a lot cheaper than resin which gives you the same effect. Never thought of using glue. Very cool. When you did your stained glass piece, I notice you used puffy paint, I lucked out and found black hot glue sticks on Amazon and I love it. I did a wine bottle similiar to what you did with just making different shapes, almost like puzzle pieces, then went in and colored it with alcohol inks. Turns out great.

You can still buy antique BLUE Mason & Ball jars. Some are with & without lids. I have several of both & use one small Ball jar (pint size w/glass lid) for my teabags. They are so worth the $$ u pay. Sometime u can find cheaper ones in small towns, rural country areas. Good Luck shopping. The idea you have is still a good using glue & paint to color them. Thanks for sharing!

My favorite was the colored Mason jars. I make paper flower arrangements and recycle jars of all types and sizes as vases. What an easy and inexpensive (a plus!) way to coordinate the vase with the colors of the flowers!

I just ordered everything you just made here...the clear Elmers glue, the white and clear stones, and the artificial flowers, from Amazon! I have a beautiful clear vase almost identical to yours. This is such a terrific idea. I recently remodeled my house and just did not know what centerpiece I would like on my dining room table. This is brilliant. Absolutely brilliant.

Depends on the craft too! Clear Glue should be fine for things that are temporary or seldom handled, while Resin will last much longer if it is something that will be handled often (like jewelry!) Glue will retain a softer texture while resin is much harder. Glue will yellow quicker than Resin (Resin will sometimes yellow if exposed to enough sunlight) Glue isn't a bad tip for something fun and inexpensive- especially if prone to mistakes (Like I am! XD ) Plus Glue is a lot safer to use around pets and little ones while Resin needs to be handled in its own well-ventilated environment. I don't have human children, but I do have a couple of clingy cats who lament my isolation while I play with resin. I'd definitely try it some time!

You can also use a hot glue gun with ultra clear hot glue sticks and add small drops here and there to several petals on each flower. When the glue dries it looks like water/dew/rain drops on the flowers to make them look even more realistic. I like to tip the petal downward for a few seconds as soon as the drop of glue touches it so the glue slowly starts to move downward just enough to give each drop the appearance of movement. Its a very effective way to transform silk flowers into realistic looking live flowers just after a fresh rain. 🌼🌺😊
