What was your inspiration?

I wanted a rustic/vintage look in my house and I loved these when I saw them...I just had to try it! My husband help me make 4!

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

Be very careful when breaking the glass on the under side of lid, it will break into small pieces.

When breaking glass it helps to put the object in a storage bad, like a ziplock , then break the glass and it wont fly everywhere
