I took this idea from Anna Corba's "Vintage Paper Crafts" - a visual feast. These, notice I am not using a name yet, look similar, and yet I know I dyed the purple ribbon myself, selected images, and did the beading by hand -so they feel like mine.Anna, and my American friends, would call these 'Candy Dishes', My English friends would say a 'Sweet Bowl', and possibly offer me a sweetie. As an Australian, I think that they are a 'Lolly Glass'. Pick what you will, I have decided that a few of these, of various heights, would look glorious on Christmas tables holding cherries, chocolate or candy/sweets/lollies.
I am off to work now, but in my head I am listing second hand and op' shops likely to have more glasses ....

Fabulous idea Julie! How did you collage the papers on to the glass?
Looks great.

Gorgeous Julie! You are very prolific creatively and I admire how you try many different things. I always find inspiration here!
Mmm....Lolly Glass is a good name for these beauties. Can just see a bunch on Christmas tables holding goodies.
I was about to ask the same question as Nat. What product did you use to collage onto the glass?
Hi Guys,
Golden gel medium - matt - wish I could buy it by the bucket load! But the postage on it is a killer.
Ohh I agree. Love GGM. It is expensive though and I seem to eat the stuff! Well it disappears very quickly and I buy the biggest Jar I can get.. Have a good weekend.
