1. Here’s a novel idea, which you can use as a flower vase or for floating candles.  Wrap 14-gauge twisted copper wire under the lip of the glass covering; twist the ends together. 

2. A tri-pod shape chain from an old hanging bird feeder works great for this craft but you can make one.  Slip an “S” hook into last link on one end of each (8-inch long) chain; All 3 chains should hang on 1 “S” hook.  Hang top of “S” with attached chains from iron stand crook.  Slip remaining “S” hooks into the last link on the other ends of each chain; each chain has its own hook. Slip “S” hooks attached to chains right under the copper wire around lip of glass covering.  Covering is open side up as a bowl.  Adjust “S” hooks sliding them around rim of glass until all 3 chains are at even points around glass and glass is level.  Twist copper wire to make sure hooks and tightly in place and use copper wire at top where 3 chains meet if you need to further secure the vase. Make sure glass covering is sturdy as water will make it heavier. 

Note: Some find it easier to attach the hooks under the wire prior to hanging it from the iron stand. Optional: for a more uniform look spray paint the iron stand, “S” hooks, and chain with copper paint or the same color and allow to fully dry.

2. Place hanging vase in center of table. Add water into the glass. Trim red roses so blooms rest above edge of glass and arrange roses in full array in glass vase.  Or, you could opt for floating candles in the water and even color the water red which is an awesome effect when illuminated by candlelight.  Here’s a tip about prolonging the life of cut roses: if you smash about a 1-inch portion at the end of stems either with a little hammer or mallet, you loosen up the cell structure a bit and it’s easier for the roses to drink from the water. Also, always cut on the bias and expose as much of the inner structure as possible to water.
