Thanks for the useful instructions. I have a collection of older pink glass plates that a friend gave me. I was planning on making a flower decoration for my garden with them but this project would be so cute too.

I hope I have enough to do both. :)

Be careful with glass. You might have to use a drill bit just for glass. I would hate to have you risk it since they are older plates. I think stoneware is your bet bet.

I will need to use a glass drill bit. I saved the plates from going to the dump. I'm trying to recreate these pretty flowers that I've seen over the years at farmer's markets and craft fairs.

I may get some practice plates from a thrift store or garage sale. There are so many more than are wanted anymore.

We have also drilled plates and made them into flowers and attached them to a metal stand. We have a grouping in our backyard. Look at my post from the past called "Bug Sculpture" to see my glass flowers.
