Sometimes we end up with one or two wine glasses in a set, as the rest have been lost or broken. Other times, a wine glass has a chip or small crack, but you hate to throw it away for various reasons. Well, here are some great ways to reuse these glasses in your home.

 

Ocean design

Create your own under the sea design by adding a layer of beach sand and some seashells to the glass. If desired, suspend a candle from the edge of the glass so that it sits just above the shells but does not overhang the edge of the glass.

 

Jars

You can also use an old chipped glass as a vase. You can leave it as is or decorate it with paint or decoupage if you prefer. As long as the glass can hold water, it can be used as a vase. If it is broken, it would be better to cover it with a decoupage design and use it to display silk flowers.

 

Lamps

Make your own lamp by placing a candle (or an LED alternative if you prefer) in a wine glass and topping it off with a mini lampshade. These lampshades can be made or purchased and you can choose from many different colours.

 

Upside down candle holder

Turn the glasses upside down, decorate the wine glass and stem according to the theme you have chosen and place a candle on top. They’re great for Halloween, Christmas, Valentine’s Day, birthdays and more!

 

Terrariums

If you have one or more small plants such as cacti, you can put some soil in the glass along with the plant. These plants grow at a slow pace, so you won’t have to worry about growing their glass too early. Use one or create your own mini garden with glasses of different shapes and sizes.

 

So the next time you have an extra wine glass that doesn’t match the set or has too many imperfections, consider reusing it as a decorative piece in your home. Maybe you will like these designs in your office too!
