Carrying on from the mosaic theme – Save all the pieces up, sort into similar colours & re-tile a floor area by pressing your design into wet concrete. Finish off with tile grout.

I use my broken plates and what-not as decor for the bottom of my fish bowls. It look likes ruins of Atlantis!

Research is going into ways in which broken glass can be recovered, soon you may be able to stick that broken glass in the recycle bin!!

My grandmother used to collect broken pieces of glass from the same situation and she put them in a jar with a lid. After a while, with different colors and what-not, you wind up with a decoration. Just make sure you don’t set it somewhere that it would fall and break all over again! :)

If you are into gardening I would smash them into smaller pieces and use them as a decorative mulch around pot plants. It looks so cute around my spring bulbs at the moment. Just like mosaic but without the hassle. Group the colours into complementary shades. I have also used many decorative shards in mosaic work. I have made myself a beautiful fruit bowl on the base of a terracotta plant pot. It is alot simpler than you think once you organise your pattern.

As long as they bits aren’t too sharp, broken crochery is great for putting at the bottom of plant pots for drainage.
