There are many options for how glasses can be used as candlesticks.
The simplest among them is to simply turn the glass upside down and place a suitable candle on the base of the stem. In this case, the glass can be decorated by wrapping a rope around it, a white lace border can be glued to the base, and textile flowers of the same shades can be glued above it. The candle itself, which will be placed on the stem of the glass, can also be tied several times with a tourniquet; overall, the result will be a very beautiful composition.
A very simple, but at the same time very elegant candlestick can be made if you create a decorative composition of cinnamon sticks and spruce branches, fresh flowers and leaves, berries, and Christmas tree balls in an inverted glass.

1) tea or coffee pair (cup and saucer)
2) glue to connect the “spouting” structure with a bowl and saucer. It is better to use the universal Moment gel adhesive for ceramics, plastic or glass. An alternative can be any other adhesive designed to work with smooth surfaces. A glue gun is also used, but it is intended mainly for working with rough surfaces. There is a possibility that the cup will come off in the near future after gluing.
3) thick wire, or triple wires. You can use other flexible items, such as old aluminum forks or spoons, or a metal hanger.
superplastic) is a self-hardening thermoplastic. When heated, it becomes plastic and convenient for giving it the desired shape. When cooled, it becomes hard, elastic and durable.
5) painting scotch– they can replace superplastic
6), can also replace polymorphus. It resembles plasticine, but unlike it, it hardens well in air. Contains natural ingredients(cereal flour dough), therefore absolutely safe for children.
7) decoration items cups: coins, flowers, cones, feathers, candies, beads, buttons, ribbons and much, much more.
The process of creating a floating mug is not at all complicated, but there are several important nuances, which must be taken into account when creating it.
The main secret in creating a flying bowl is making the right choice tea pair. The cup and saucer should not be too heavy. If you take this condition into account, it will be easier to create a flying bowl!
We construct the base of the floating cup; this is the element that connects the saucer to the cup. To do this, take a wire of the required length. It is important to note that the distance between the bowl and saucer should be approximately two cups. With these parameters, the flying cup will look most balanced.
Inside the bowl we form a loop from the wire, the diameter of which should be 2-4 cm. This will help to achieve better fixation of the wire in the cup. We twist the second end of the wire into a flat spiral in two or three turns. This way we will get a kind of stand, which we will fix in the saucer.
The tilt radius of the resulting structure should not exceed 45 degrees, otherwise the structure will be unstable!
Polymorphus is the most best material when making a flying cup.
Take a piece of polymorphus and immerse it in hot water for 20 seconds. During this time, the material is converted into soft plastic.
We stick the resulting plastic, like plasticine, around the base, giving it the desired shape. If the plastic hardens before you finish the job, simply dip it back into hot water. The prepared base will completely harden within 15 minutes.
If you don’t have this material on hand, you can use modeling compound. An alternative to these two materials could be masking tape, which is simply wrapped around the wire base. Or you can wrap the wire with felt or other fabric, after coating it with glue.
An important aspect is to constantly try on the base on a saucer with a cup in order to spot any flaws in time!
You should pay special attention to the edge of your cup in the place where the structure will be attached!
In this place it is necessary to make a kind of step in the form of a support. This way the structure will hold much more securely.
When the base is ready, you can begin fixing it on the cup. Lubricate with glue all surfaces of the base in contact with the saucer and cup. Press firmly and hold for 3-5 minutes. Don't forget to glue a step to support the cup!
We fix the flying cup on soft objects in the desired direction and leave it in this position for 5 hours. During this time, the glue will dry well and securely fix the resulting floating bowl.
When the floating cup is well glued, you need to check how stable it is.
If the saucer is not able to hold the cup, then it is necessary to reduce the radius of the structure until it becomes stable.
The last stage of making a flying bowl is the most interesting and creative. Decorating a spill cup! Apply adhesive gel to decorative elements and glue it.
It is better to glue the large elements first, and glue the smaller ones last. This will hide small visible defects and gaps between elements.
After all the decorations are glued, you need to let the cup stand for 5 hours so that the glue dries.
The process of assembling a flying bowl is discussed in detail in the master class

Will make yours more magnificent and elegant:
Handicraft masterpieces cover in their master class how to make an Easter floating bowl:
DelkiRu talks about another type of Easter composition in his master class:
Instead of a flying cup, you can make a flying teapot. This composition will look very original on your kitchen table. When performing such a craft, it is better to choose a teapot of small size and weight so as not to overload the structure. It is better to make a “stream” from a teapot from thin, strong wire (for example, knitting needles) and superplastic.
Hanging flying cups with flowers can become an original decoration! The main thing is to securely fasten them.
The idea of using recycled materials began to appear more and more often in the minds of practical or creative people. It is primarily due to the fact that humanity has finally begun to realize the futility of thoughtless consumption.
Yes, a beautiful shell from easter eggs can turn into decorative candles, and broken shards are also material for creating garden decor. They can even be labeled to indicate where certain plants sprout.
Furniture remodeling is also often done with a few tools and a little effort. Yes, old dinner table can be divided into two elegant console tables for an entryway or living room.
The fabric from a broken umbrella has special properties- waterproof and durable. It can be used to create children's playhouse and even covers for camping tools.
Wax crayons, which delight children with their durability and brightness, are quickly consumed and after a while become unsuitable for drawing. They can be melted in a water bath and poured into any container. suitable diameter. You will get a new rainbow pencil.
Plastic tubes of glue or lipstick, medicine bottles, etc. will do. They can also be turned into candles.
A piece of soft cloth will help repair sandals
With the help of scissors, sneakers or textile shoes can also be turned into open summer shoes.
And again landscape design: To decorate its individual elements, stemless glasses and fragments of ceramic dishes are perfect. The last thing you can do is lay out the border.
Something that is completely unsuitable for decorating a garden will serve as drainage for flower pots or a flooded area of land.
Not to mention the fact that you can make jewelry and even a chandelier yourself, and also give a second life to Christmas tree balls.
A broken globe can be used as a lamp.
Be attentive to what surrounds you and do not be influenced by stereotypes if you want other miraculous transformations to happen. And then the globe will become a lampshade, the ceramic dish will become a garden birdbath, and the frame will become a holder for earrings.
