hello, glamorous!
 
I am not sure my idea is unique but you could make various animals (birds, insects - butterflies must be beautiful) from glass pieces or decorate glasses, plates, cups, frames for photos or pictures (it will be more interesting if the pieces are of different colours). good luck and be careful, do not hurt youselves.

How about making an outline of the 7 continents or a world map? You could use blueish and green pieces of glass for that. That �ll have an educational goal!
 
Another idea - you could show the butterfly life cycle: catterpilar on a leaf, larva, butterfly...
 
I agree with priorita: be careful and do not hurt yourself!
 
Good luck :)

What about some frames for photos and have a final family tree. That way any colour would be suitable?
Good luck and, just an idea, what about uploading some photos of the final result. I  would like to see them and I �m sure we all would.

Another idea: make pictures of different weather. Have some clouds out of card and add glass rain drops, snowflakes, sunshine, wind, etc.
Yes, I agree with olindalima (F), I would love to see the photos of the work you �ll produce in the end! Maybe let us know in private message in case we miss your post on the board.
Good luck again
Bed time in China :))

friends, your ideas are great - the world map is really cool! glamorous, you could also make fruit and vegetables. I think, grapes, pineapple may look marvelous. or a tree in blossom or with fruits on it...

If you go on google images and just type in - �crafts made from recycled glass � you �ll be amazed at how much can be made from recycled glass.
I also found and article about making candles from old, used filtered oil and glass jars here : http://springwise.com/style_design/filt/
 
Good Luck ;o)
