Last year, we asked our Facebook fans to tell us how they use regular household items as tools in glass art creation. We got a fantastic list of ideas! When we asked again this year, we got a few more great tips to share. Here's the list, Part II. Thanks everyone!
Folger's coffee buckets for scrap glass
A cut-up cardboard box instead of a grinder shield
The plastic tops of milk containers for holding flux while working
Spoons for frit to roll beads in; baby spoons to hold small amounts of frit
Silverware basket from dishwasher to hold tools
Canning jars to hold frit
Wooden toothpicks for mandrels
Stainless steel bowls and containers for slumping
Page protectors to keep patterns dry while grinding
Cut an apron out of old plastic tablecloth to use while grinding. Use a kitchen apron as a pattern - no sewing involved!
