Difficulty: Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • Threads Or Glue
  • Work Gloves
  • Work Gloves
  1. Step 1

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

  2. Step 2

    Place the glass at the center of the copper ribbon.

  3. Step 3

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

  4. Step 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. Step 5

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

  6. Step 6

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

  7. Step 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.
