Beach-Themed Pedestal Bowl

Here is the margarita-glass-based pedestal bowl I made for my sister-in-law, who recently redecorated her bedroom in a beach theme. Yes, I was really itching to make this and ran right out to buy the supplies! :)

I started out with this margarita glass ($1 from Dollar Tree) and filled it with small seashells I got in a bag at Michaels ($1.80 for the bag, with leftovers). Here is that step:



Then I added another of these 7" glass bowls ($1 from Dollar Tree) to the top with E6000 glue:



And it turned out like this:



And here's a bird's-eye-view to get the full effect:



I think she's going to like it! I debated whether to add sand, but then I thought you'd notice the seashells better without it.

It cost me $3.80, and I still have some shells leftover to make something else with. Not bad for a 9"-tall pedestal bowl!
