Instructions

    • 1

      Choose a copper ribbon that is slightly wider than the glass you are working with.

    • 2

      Place the glass at the center of the copper ribbon.

    • 3

      Wrap the copper around all sides of the glass, overlapping it a bit where they meet.

    • 4

      Apply super glue to the ribbon. Be careful to fit the ribbon exactly how you want it since super glue is hard to move.

    • 5

      Press the ribbon to the glass with your fingers so that the copper attaches to the glass.

    • 6

      Run the glass cutter along all sides of the glass to remove wrinkles from the copper.

    • 7

      Wrap the copper around the edges of the glass on both sides so it resembles the letter C.

Tips & Warnings

  • Make sure the copper ribbon is straight before allowing the glue to dry.

  • Wear work gloves when handling glass.
