Sandblasting then painting

[Judy K]

Sorry , I just fixed my first post. It is snowshoe hare tracks. You are fast!!!!!!!!

It'll have a routed lip on one side, silicone adhesive, then use a bead of wicker reeding on the other side. I can pre-shape the reeding to fit right in the 4" circle, then use a thin bead of silicone to make it stay.

I was going to suggest that you cut half way through with a hole-saw (Like an attachment to a hand drill) Then cut from the other side with a slightly smaller hole saw, maybe a
1/4" smaller.  I'd think that the plug should be knocked out fairly easily (But it should be noted that I'm often wrong).That would leave a 1/8" stop. Then add your bead of wicker to hold the glass in place.

Judy, I really like those!

I love the rough finish Judy.
I was thinking of those pillar candle bases, the ones with the 'rough' finish, they have a bit of a rim and would sandblast nicely. Some have plastic stick-on 'feet', easily removed, some are solid glass with raised nipples for feet and would need a moment or two in the kiln. Either way, they are cheap and plentiful in the Dollar stores!
PS, If you look, dont get side-tracked by the colored beveled ones, the sticky feet do come off but they clean up to clear real well with rubbing alcohol... sigh..

Whata great idea. I've seen them everywhere from Walmart to Pier 1.

Dont forget to check out the 'nipples'!

We must be shopping in different stores...lmao

Keep focused!

That's what I telling him to do, some are solid and some come off.
