Big martini glasses can be used for a lot of things besides martinis. You can use them for a lot of other decorative purposes as well. You can use very large regular martini drinking glasses for this or go to the store and buy super-sized ones that can be used for decoration.
When it comes to room decor, oversized martini glasses make beautiful centerpieces. For the holiday seasons you can fill them with whatever pertains. Hershey’s kisses or heart shaped chocolates look great in a Martin glass for Valentine’s Day. For Christmas you can fill it with shiny Christmas balls. In the Spring and Autumn you can fill it with floating flowers or pot-pours. Fill a martini glass with water and float a big peony or rose in it in June.
Big wine glasses also make wonderful candle holders. Simply fill with water, even colored water and then float the candle on the surface to create a romantic mood.
Martini glasses also make lovely flower vases for small bundles of flowers such as a bundle of daisies or a bunch of orchids. The key to this looking great is to bundle the flowers together first so they stand up straight in a bed of sand or river rocks deposited in the bottom of the glass.
Giant martini glasses also make very interesting serving dishes. Consider serving chocolates, Cocoa cheerios, dips, mixed nuts, candy, olives, pretzels or pickles in them. They also make nice holders for fresh fruit.
Martini glasses are also useful for making fruit and yogurt sundaes, ice cream sundaes and they are perfect for holding puddings and mouses. They can also be an elegant container for cold soup or a mid-course sorbet.
Yet another wonderful use for a Martini glass is as a holder of shrimp and shrimp cocktail sauce. Simply hook the shrimp all around the rim of the glass which is filled with tangy seafood sauce.
These glasses also look great in bathroom. You can fill them with colorful bath pellets, soap, bath salts or decorative soaps. Mix two colors of bath salts to create a lovely effect.
Giant martini glasses can also be used as holders for favors or gift baskets. Large acrylic martini glasses work best for this. Simply pile little gifts in the glass and then wrap it all with saran wrap. Be sure to tie it all together securely with a pretty ribbon.
