I told her I'd make her some for WAAAAY cheaper. And lo & behold, I actually did it! And within a reasonable amount of time! See, sometimes I can finish a project quickly.
Here is what you need:
I picked up a case of Ball canning jars at OSH during their 'We pay the sales tax' weekend. I think the whole case cost me 12 bucks. While I was there, I grabbed a tube of E6000 adhesive. Then I walked all of 50 yards down the sidewalk to the Dollar Tree where I cleaned them out of glass candlesticks. So, I'm up to about $23 worth of stuff.
Truly one of the easiest DIYs to date for me (besides the hokey Valentines door-hangers). I did wipe the tops of the candlesticks and bottoms of the jars with rubbing alcohol before giving them a quick sandpaper massage to ensure good adhesion.
Followed the directions on the adhesive, married the two pieces and VOILA! Redneck/Okie/Down-Home-Country Wine Glasses!
I did let the adhesive cure overnight with a weight on top as per the instructions. But I was able to throw them in a basket and give them to mom at church last Sunday - she was so surprised!
This entire project cost me less than $25. I gifted 6 glasses to my mom, and plan to sell the other set of 6 for $30 to cover costs. And that is still half the asking price of any others I've seen lately ($10 each? Really? It took me like, a minute to do each glass.)

Those. Look. INCREDIBLE. I only drink out of jam jars. Because I think they're pretty, and they allow for good grip with all their ridges and such.
Put I would be in constant terror the two parts would come unglued. And surely the dishwasher would melt them. But taken proper care..they're amazing.
