Broken Glass Art Ideas

About Broken Glass Art Ideas Android App

I have tried very few projects with Broken Glasses. However, I will certainly try to give my honest shot to explore more options for you.
Here is the list of Tutorials and Inspiration that could help you:
Tip 1: Always use a rubber or latex gloves, while dealing with broken mirror or glass-kind of stuff. In case of injury use an adhesive bandages for quick fix or check with your nearest doctors. As the glass particles could be very minute and when ignored, could be really dangerous.
Tip 2: It is always good to use a glue made to bond with glass, or the glass will come apart again as soon as it is cleaned. Silicone based adhesives are transparent and strong once dry, but can be toxic. As information available in web, Aquarium glues fall under this category.
Tip 3: Ultraviolet (UV) curing acrylic resins are excellent for repairing clear glass fragments that fit snugly together. They require exposure to sunlight or a UV lamp to set. Opaque or colored glass may block some of the UV light, causing a weaker bond.
Tip 4: If you are creating a craft which may get exposed to water in future, make sure the glue used is waterproof. Mostly suggested adhesives and UV resins are waterproof. (Still Check). Also If your craft involves any creation that will come into contact with food or drink in future, check that the glue used is made for such purpose. (Note: Some adhesives are toxic even when dry.)
With precautionary tips in hand, let's get started:
1. Decorating-Any kind of Photo frame: You can use a Special Glue and Old Frame available at your home or could buy a simple frame and decorate it. I would suggest you to use only appropriate amount of adhesive as they are quite strong for bonding purpose.
2. For making Night Lamps: Use a Mason Jar or any ordinary Pickle/Jam jar and stick your glass piece for a beautiful transformation into a house decor night lamp. Ensure it is sanitized properly and use a normal tea-candle or Flame-less LED Tea candles are best for the purpose create less mess.
3. Beautiful Christmas-tree or Festive decoration : You may find the base from any local craft store.
4. Decor Piece out of old Mirror Frame: Take an old Mirror and transform it into beautiful decor piece. Firstly secure the Mirror part with duct tapes and newspaper/old papers. Take a Gold spray paint and beautify the frame, let it dry for one complete day. The next day by simply removing the secure cover of duct tape and newspaper. Start sticking the glass pieces on to mirror with special adhesive and let it dry for 1-2 days. Hang it in a place where it can face sunlight and enjoy its beauty.
5. Beautiful Flower Pots and Glass vase: You can easily get artificial flower from local florist if you want to avoid maintaining your special glass piece. Try to get some decorative stones which are easily available in local craft store, florist etc. at a very reasonable price. You may also get the Vase from any local craft store for a reasonable price.
Post painting your preferred pot with acrylic paints, let it dry for a day and stick these stones and broken mirror pieces for beautiful pattern decor. let it rest one side at a time for one whole day.
