Remove green tint from glass edge

Did you know that the edge of glass tip is green because of iron in the sand used to make the glass?

Before reading this quick DIY tip from Janell Beals from HouseOfFifty, I had no idea either.

And before reading this tip, I had no idea that I would be bothered with it myself. 🙂 But now I am.

Thankfully, Janell’s blog post also offers a solution – use a tube of rub n’ buff. The transformation is quite subtle but effective. As you can see in the after picture below.

Go to her blog post on this quick tip on removing the green tint and see the rest of the details.

  1. It looks good, but you are not removing it, it is being covered up with another colour. Surely Rub’n’Buff will wear off?

  2. Has anyone tried this! I am in need of a solution for hiding the green tint on new glass shelves.

  3. Hi, i install new glass panel that havé this Green tint. Did you have succes hiding it?

Dollar Tree Strainer Pumpkin Tutorial

This Dollar Tree Strainer Pumpkin is such a clever little fall craft, and I love that it turns something completely ordinary into rustic farmhouse décor. A simple kitchen strainer suddenly becomes a sweet autumn pumpkin filled with mini pumpkins, acorns, leaves, and seasonal texture.

What makes this project so charming is the mix of materials. The metal mesh strainer gives it that slightly vintage, farmhouse look, while the twine-wrapped handle makes it feel warm and handmade. Add in the burlap leaf and little fall fillers, and it becomes the kind of decoration that would look lovely on a mantel, tiered tray, kitchen shelf, or Thanksgiving table.

This is also a great budget-friendly Dollar Tree craft because you can customize it with whatever fall supplies you already have. Use white pumpkins for a neutral farmhouse style, orange pumpkins for a classic autumn look, or add berries, cinnamon sticks, raffia, ribbon, or fairy lights to make it your own.

I especially like that this project is different from the usual wreath or painted pumpkin craft. It has a cute “repurposed kitchen item” feel, which makes it perfect for anyone who loves upcycled décor and cozy handmade fall projects.
