    21 Glass Craft Ideas to Try Today

    by Patti Estep · May 18, 2022

    Collage of glass craft ideas including gold mercury glass, herbarium bottles and a birdfeeder.

    Enjoy this amazing list of glass bottle craft ideas that you can easily make at home for yourself or use as gifts for friends and family. A great way to recycle and repurpose glass.

    Collage of glass bottle crafts include a garland, lantern, painted glass and stained glass look.

    The list below shows some of my favorite glass projects as well as several from some of my fellow blogging friends. Many include great ways to upcycle, repurpose or recycle glass bottles, jars and cups from your own home. Some require purchasing inexpensive glass items that you can easily find at dollar stores or craft stores. They are all great for gift giving, girls' night out crafting, and just plain old creative fun for yourself.
