Pour your ground glass in the vase more than halfway. Stick in an artificial flower and tie a ribbon with a small card around the vase. Send them home to parents for special occasions.Centers and Circle Timehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06790847722834866885noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15932919.post-12001627767190292472010-07-26T16:15:24.536-07:002010-07-26T16:15:24.536-07:00I think you could do some beautiful glue paintings...I think you could do some beautiful glue paintings with them or use the glue painting concept but do their names so that they will still have a piece of it. I like the stepping stone idea, they could carve into the concrete before it sets and pour the glass in. Or have them decorate the outside of a container with it, like a flower pot, a totem or whatever they fancy. You could make a paste they had to trowel on.mgiltnerhttp://thejournalofdag.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15932919.post-81693841172233940922010-07-26T14:09:49.090-07:002010-07-26T14:09:49.090-07:00I love the I Spy idea - you could make a great big...I love the I Spy idea - you could make a great big eye spy for your class - I am sure you could fine a way:)Deborahhttp://www.deborahjstewart.com/blognoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15932919.post-73532626611028315182010-07-26T13:39:16.382-07:002010-07-26T13:39:16.382-07:00Agree on the Eye Spy containers, or what about DIY...Agree on the Eye Spy containers, or what about DIY egg timers / hourglasses?

I've never seen that type of painting experience...and I think the kids would love it. <br /><br />I think the idea of I Spy bottles would be a great use for your ground glass.
