How much did making this Red Gem Craft with Glass Cylinder cost?
This project cost me about $10.00. I had the glue from other craft projects.
How long did it take to make Red Gem Craft with Glass Cylinder?
This project took me about three hours to glue and overnight 12 hours before I could turn it upright.
How did I make this Red Gem Craft with a Glass Cylinder?
First, I added the red gems with Gorilla Contact Adhesive Clear Grip starting from the bottom and 22 flat red gem (affiliate) pieces for the radius of my glass container (affiliate).
Then, I added the next row and continued six rows to reach the top. Here is the first row.
And, here is the additional rows added to the glass container (affiliate).
Now, I added the holiday flowers or used them to store things to keep organized.

Tips on making this DIY craft project
Also, here are a few tips when making these glass cylinders.
- If you are gluing the gem (affiliate) onto the glass container (affiliate), lay the glass container (affiliate) on its side and allow the glue to dry for a few seconds before gluing the next row.
- Pick the appropriate adhesive. If the glue is too watery and doesn't adhere within seconds, the gem (affiliate) will slide, and if you don't watch it, it will be stuck in an area not where you placed it.
