Creations, Seaside Tabletop Glassware
Welcome to the 2nd Creative Craft Blog Hop!
I know you had fun visiting creative Carol at Bluesky At Home
Now, let’s get crafty with some glassware, beads, shells and seaglass
I rounded up a few things to dress up,
a blue bottle with a broken top, a large glass fish,
and a couple of inexpensive stemmed goblets
I got out my “bling box,” it’s full of glass beads,
sea glass and other potential craft items like costume jewelry
I also have a box of sand dollars collected from a nearby beach
Let’s get started!
The bottle got a “skirt” of sand dollars
and a “necklace” of colorful beads
Now the broken edge looks pretty!
Rows of beads and glass were added near the base
A large glass blue bubble is the finishing touch
The glasses have a large sand dollar on the front
with cone shells, small sand dollar, and sea glass on the base
I painted a row of turquoise “swoosh” strokes under the large sand dollar
Ultramarine blue dots were painted around the large sand dollar
and on the edge of the base
I decided to give the glass fish some color and texture with glass and beads
Sea glass was glued to the sides of the fish
flat backed glass beads were glued all over the base,
and I painted a few lines on the bottom fin
A few colored beads on top and blue dots around the eyes
These will be coming to a tablescape soon!

Jenna, So creative and crafty… I love how you salvaged your broken bottle and I especially love your fish makeover! The sea glass and flat marbles are the perfect addition to give the illusion of iridescent scales. What a treasure trove of sand dollars too! Question: What adhesive do you use? E6000 or do you use hot glue for the glass…does it hold on glass? Happy to be hopping with you today! ♥
Thanks Mary! I used hot glue so the glued pieces would be secure right away but E6000 is really a better choice, especially if the items will be outside, E6000 has better longevity but the pieces would have to be secured with tape to keep in place while drying. Happy hopping!
Lovin’ your new fish bowl, it turned out great:@)
Thanks Lynn!
Jenna, I always love your creativity. The tabletop glassware…bottle, glasses, and fish bowl have a new beach life. I love all of them and I need a bling box! Wishing you a beautiful day, it is pouring rain this morning!
Thank you Pam, ha ha, a bling box can be handy! I can’t believe you’re getting rain, it’s already 81 here!
Your glassware looks very summery! I wondered too what glue you used– I see the answer above.

Thanks Liberty!
Love your bling box and I adore sea glass. Such fun projects to inject colour 🙂
Thanks Sara, I adore sea glass too 🙂
I love your creations you made with the shells and beads. It all looks so coastal and perfect for summer. Have a nice week Jenna.
Thank you Julie, fun crafts!
Your blue bottle is so gorgeous. Where did you get it? This is such a great beach decor. Your “bling” box has some really great stuff. The sand dollars are really cool looking too. Can’t wait for the upcoming tablescape. Thanks for sharing.
hi Andrea, I’ve had that blue bottle for ages, can’t remember where I got it, but one day I knocked it over and the top broke…I couldn’t bear to throw it away, I’m so glad I finally repurposed it! Thanks!
What fun you had decorating all of these pieces. I too like to decorate for the summer in beach decor. Love what you did! Great job friend and so great crafting with you!
Thanks Chas!!
Jenna, my favorite is the little fish bowl. How cute. What a cute way to dress up things for a themed vignette. Love it.
Thanks Terrie, I’ve had that fish bowl for years, I can’t believe I’ve left it alone until now 😂
These are such fun! LOVE the sand dollars (just salivating as you showed your whole box of them!). Love the glasses especially. Thanks for the glue info in the comments!
Thanks Jeanie, simple crafts but I can’t wait to start using them!
So cute! I love the sand dollar trim!
Thanks Dorothy!

This is the kind of crafting I probably like the most! Just getting out shells, beads, whatever, and getting creative with them. These will make for lovely beachy tabletop decor for you this summer! Thanks so much for joining us again in this crafty hop!
Thank you Chloe, so many fab ideas in these craft hops!!
Jenna, I always admire your creativity! Your tabletop glassware turned out beautiful. I especially love the pretty vase. I hope you have most beautiful day!

Hi Jenna, your projects turned out lovely and would make the perfect addition to a summer tablescape. I especially love the fish and it’s iridescent scales.
Great to be blogging with you:)
Thanks Rachelle, yes we have a great group of crafty bloggers!
Jenna, I love that you used a variety of items you already had to create something so pretty. Love all the pretty coastal colors. I’ve never seen so many sand dollars! Super cute.
Thanks Carol!!
These make such pretty decor and I love the colors! It is a pleasure to join you this week! Blessings, Cecilia @My Thrift Store Addiction
Thanks Cecilia!
That’s awesome you found all those sand dollars on the beach. Sure beats buying them! I love how they look on your projects!
Thanks Allyson, actually my son and his friend found them on a beach vacation a few years ago, they even bleached them for me!
Thanks so much for linking up with me at #AThemedLinkup 18 for Crafting with Bottles and Jars, open May 30 to June 10. All party entries shared if social media buttons installed.
What great makeovers, Jenna! I love that you used items that you already had on hand, just like the birdhouses last month. Everything is so coastal chic with the sea glass and sand dollars. The fish is my favorite…I can’t wait to see how you use them in a tablescape! It was fun crafting with you again!
Thanks Rebecca, I am loving the craft hops! I have had that fish forever, and never really did much with him, it’s time for him to get busy 🙂
