Pretty Little Cloche

Aint' she a beaut!



I made this cute little cloche thingy out of things bought at GoodWill, the dollar tree, and a family heirloom brooch! I wanted to display the brooch that belonged to a family member that and was passed on to me (I'm not much of a pin wearer). A shopping trip to GoodWill yielded a cloche and a milk glass base to put it on!!!! I just filled milk glass dish with some Spanish Moss I got at the Dollar Tree, sat the brooch on top of it, and placed the dome over it!

Total amount spent: $3.50!!

  3. How did you put it together? Is the glass just set in there, or did you glue it?
