This is my smallest Cloche I have...Its very tiny...I have it in my Bedroom with a tiny little bust sitting in it some Reindeer Moss....This is the moss that I have growing wild up here on my mountain top and I use it for so many decorating things...
This one is in my Living Room on my coffee table...I put some little birds and bird nest in it for that Spring look...Added some more of my FREE moss....Added a tassel to the top....I love to change this one out with the seasons...
This is my Biggest Cloche...Just sat it in on dinner plate again with a sweet little Blue bird and a nest...added another tassel to the top....
Now this is one of my Hospice finds for the month of May...I paid $3.50 for this glass container...just added some fake Lemons to it...and put in on my kitchen table...just love the Blue/Yellow together...its so FRENCHY looking to me ha ha!!
An Apothecary jar that I got from Hospice last year...I think this was $7.50....all the fruits I just got also last week from Hospice for $1.50....for the bag..
Now this is a cheese Keeper from the Seventies...Len brought this home to me thinking it was a Cloche's ha ha!! Well it was by the time I got done with it....
Got out my "Gorilla" glue....I so recommend this glue over Super glue as it does hold much stronger even on Metal....
A sherbet Glass and Chintz plate....Glued the glass to the bottom of the plate....Instant Cloche....
I shown this once before...but Hey I might have a new audience today so wanted to show you how you can make a mini Cloche with an Old Cheese keeper...These Cheese keeps I find all the time at yard sales and thrift store and are so inexpensive...
Here I added a fake cake ....
A Sweet tea pot picture frame...Many little items you can put under these....
Now this is a wide opening vase I had...
An Old candle that was burned down to close for me to light without burning my danity fingers ha ha!!...I think we all have those right???
See the plastic on the candle lid...well I took that off...
Got out my trusty "Gorilla" glue and took the vase turned it up side down...Glued the Candle lid on the bottom of it....
Now this is how I made a Cloche out of it....See how cute this it...and the cost was nothing...So guys when you are out and about look for Vase's and Cheese Keepers and see you to can make a Cloche....Less $$$ that buying one's...Hope you enjoyed my Cloche's today and How to make them also....
Now Please go by and see our Hostess Marty...I know that's where I am headed...
Thanks for coming by and seeing me...I always enjoy company...
May all of you have a GREAT day...
Hugs and smiles Gl♥ria

Well, Gloria, you have so much creativity going, but my fav has to be the cloche you created with the top of the candle jar - you go, girl! Linda
HOW SMART IS THAT!?! I love your re-makes and I LOVE GORILLA GLUE! (Hubby is a hardware man! I wear his Gorilla Glue t-shirt every time I mow the lawn!) You are so very clever!

Hi Gloria! Oh, what beauties you have! I love all of your cloches! I made a cloche like yours too! OH, this is so much fun isn't it?
Be a sweetie, my friend,
Shelia :)
Gloria My Friend .. You are tooooo clever! I had saved candle jar lids forever thinking one day I'd be clever enough to come up with a use for them.. that day never came so I tossed em. I love all of your lil cloches.. believe it or not but I don't have the first one..nope nodda one.
Have a great weekend.
Hugs,
Debbie
look at you go! what a great post!
you sneaky crafty little devil!
Hi Gloria,I have made some of the cloches too. I love them don't you ! Except I have bought glass glue and that stuff isn't worth a crap ! It won't hold ! Have you had any trouble about the Gorilla glue holding ?
You are just so good and creative, Gloria. Love all your cloches especially the ones you transformed yourself.When you use gorilla glue, do you just glue it directly?...Christine
Great ideas sis and thanks for showing us how to make our own...I know I have one of those glass candle lids around here somewhere...I am seeing everyone put pretty ribbons around their cloches and then I come here and you have fancy tassels...what is wrong with me...did I miss the 'Martha gene' that reminds me to add pretty to my cloches...Why have I not thought to do that before now!!!! lol Great inspiration girl...thanks for showing us your treasures! Love ya sis~♥~
Oh Gloria you always make my mouth water every time I come by your way! So many lovelies to drool over!!
I think I remember you showing us how to make the cloche with the candle jar top- thought that was so clever when I saw it!
Thank you for sharing sweet friend!

Gloria, that is some creative thinking to make your own cloche! I'll have to try that since I don't own one but can definitely afford a basic hurricane. Thanks for the great idea!
I do love every single one of your cloches...they are just beautiful..I made a few but they aren't nearly as nice as yours...
Hi Gloria,I enjoyed seeing all your cloches and also your creative idea for making one from a vase,thanks.I think Marty had a great idea with this event.
Cyndi
Gloria...I am one that never saw the cloch you made from a dessert dish and pretty rose covered plate. I was delighted with that creation..and ..the one where you used the candle lid, took off the plastic...glued it onto the bottom of a wide mouthed clear glass vase..turned up side down. :)
Well...I am..impressed. Yes. Impressed is the word..and inspired and...boy...the things you can learn by blogging.
There would be a huge vacant spot in my life with blogging and without you, Gloria...
You are an amazing friend!
Mona
Okay.. Gloria, who's eating all that JELLO that's in that jar/??LOL!
I'm having a giveaway head on over!
Gloria,
I am so in love with all your ideas here! I wish I would have dug back for this post as it is one of my faves! You have so many pretty cloche's with all your creative ideas, like I said before, I would pay money to tour your amazing home! HeHe, glad your my friend and you won't charge me too much! Dan and I were in CA, 3 summers ago and we plan on going back. (The state is just too big to fit in one trip) Hugs and I will miss you, Cindy
I love all of these! Especially love the bluebird and nest. But your creativity is what really impresses. I remember the plate/sherbet cup post and it remains one of my favorite ideas. Great ideas and inspiration Gloria, as always! Hugs, Kathy
Girlfriend !
You just made my day ! I love how creative you are ! I am following you ~!
Hugs ~ Kammy
I enjoyed seeing all of your lovely cloche ideas. The one you made with the candle topper is a great idea. I always feel bad about throwing away those candle jars. Great idea for recycling.
Wow Gloria, you did such a fantastic job teaching us all how to make a cloche. I love it. Yours are always so pretty and I love seeing all the different things you use inside. Love you so much for helping out with this party. Thanks a bunch. Hugs, Marty
FUN! FUN! FUN! What great ideas you have. I have been seeing a number of the old 70's cheese domes and I get everyone one I see. Heck, I may even use it for it's intended purpose soon. Happy Weekend Gloria!
What inspiration! Lovely!
Glooooria, G-l-o-r-i-a!
You have me singing your praises! How clever to sue that candle lid on that glass vase. Smart cookie you are. I am going to do that!

Hi Gloria, your cloches are all so sweet. I see your little birds....like mine. Think I will name mine also. Hehehe. All your ideas are so creative and lovely.
Hugs, Barb
Gloria, Oh My Gosh Girl, you have given me some wonderful ideas. I can hardly wait to start searching for my cheese keeper domes, plates and cups to make my own choche. I have seen them, but never knew what they were called. Thanks so much for sharing with a newbie! You're a doll. When I get my first one complete, I will showcase it so that you can see what an inspiration you have been.
Have a wonderful day. Country Hugs from Country Wings in Phoenix, Sherry
All you choches are just beautiful. Your ideas for decorating them are very nice. Have a great day.
Gloria,
Besides your amazing decorating ideas and talents, I am thrilled you shared Gorilla Glue! I love your creative makeovers and will be “borrowing” them for myself. How lucky are you to have the free moss at your disposable, how neat is that! Wishing you a wonderful weekend. Cathy
You are TOO smart creating your cloche out of the cheese dome. It looks great! And your own moss, I am impressed :)!
Oh, they are all lovely! I adore the one you used the candle top with the blue bird! Bluebirds have my heart! Now how can you beat that one! You did I love the cake one! You are so clever! Love your coffee table too!
Right on, about a girl after my own heart. You and I are kindred spirits. I have seen little ribbons on the tops of cloches, but you stepped it up a notch with a tassel. I must go find a tassel now. Thanks for the sweet comments. Hugs.
great ideas Gloria! I love love love your coffee table!!
Love the homemade best of all and the lemon the keeper - love it too. Thanks for stopping by - am now a follower.
Oh girlfriend, what a wonderful collection you have. Would love to be able to walk out and use the reindeer moss.. how handy. I love the chintz plate made into a base for a cloche dome.. girl.. you are so smart. May have to try that one of these days. I hurried this a.m. to get my post up and running, hope it doesn't come off stupid..lol Girl I've missed you too, tons and tons.. many many hugs ~lynne~
