I can usually find these little guys at thrift stores and rummage sales for a dollar.
Sometimes for less, if the caps are missing! (which is fine by me, as I don’t use the caps. Need to think of a project TO use them though, as I’m accumulating quite a stash of them! SUGGESTIONS WELCOME!)
Lots of different shapes and sizes of shaker lids; awaiting an inspiring idea.
Taller / wider ones are a bit too big for this project, but will work for larger cloches.
Whoa! That does NOT look ‘centered’ in the photo, but I assure it is centered in reality. These pretty little individual vintage salt shakers make perfect knobs for the tops of cloches!
I just put a little e6000 adhesive around the rim of the shaker and place it upside down in the center of an upside down vase or hurricane jar.
I had four of these medium sized ‘bell’ shaped vases to turn into cloches; so I decided to vary the shakers. (I didn’t have four matching ones anyhow!)
A snippet of pretty ribbon tied around the neck of the shaker and no one would ever guess it wasn’t a crystal knob.
What can you DO with these cloches?? Put ANYTHING that will fit under them. Everything looks more special ‘under glass’.
I don’t have many things here at home to put under them; so I just used a couple of the little tree topped shakers I recently showed you. Will have lots more ‘examples’ of ways to use them once I take these to my booth.
Cloches are a STAPLE in my booth.
