I have a confession…..I’ve been hiding a little secret from y’all! A few years ago my mom discovered a unique vase filler that you can get for FREE!
It’s crushed glass from auto windshields!
My mom had this large bowl on her dining room table but didn’t know what to put in it and she didn’t want to leave it empty. Then she remembered the boxes of auto glass she had.
If you call up your local body repair shop and ask them nicely, you can get this stuff for free! It sparkles in the sunlight and candlelight.
Since it is tempered glass, it’s not sharp.
And it comes in a variety of colors……clear….
….blue….
….and black….
It’s the perfect accent for candle holders and vases when you don’t want to use the typical glass marbles.
I’ll be linking to Thrifty Thursday, Frugalicious Friday, Favorite Things Friday, and Friday Fun Finds.

ReplyDeleteOMG!! I had to comment on the crushed "auto" glass! Last yr. when my car was broke into, I saved all of the glass that I could and put it in old bottles! It makes for great "eye candy"...love it! I also have a business in Canton...Girls Gone Junkin ..next trip come and see us..we love our customers from Louisiana!! You can also check us out on facebook and our web! Have a great day...Cathy
ReplyDeleteThat is such a great idea! I have never thought or even heard about that before. I too have a large bowl/vase type thing I have no clue what to do with it so maybe I can check around and get some black glass I think would go really nice with it. Thanks again!
ReplyDeleteWe love to see any type of auto glass being recycled. Most auto glass ends up in a landfill, but creative ideas like this help the environment and look good too! Great job!
