Hi Cindy!
These are the large ashtrays or the zig zag fluted ones are candy dishes.
They are heavy glass.
You use 20 string lites placed in the bottom of ashtray #1 as Luci said.
The ashtray #2 is turned upside down over #1 and secured.
On the smooth ones I used cellophane tape around the edges, leaving the holes open.
On the candy dishes I spotted E6000 in about three spots to secure the top.
Embellishments come next.

The original directions I saw said to use ribbon around the edges you just secured.
I didn't care for that, so left mine plain.
Nizza did a great job of using the deco ribbon like a package ~ which offers something to glue to. Another lady friend uses candle rings and hot glues them in place on the top, then puts a crystal like ornie in the center.
I personally found making a wire base then building from there works for me.
Mine is a 2 day process for the glues to dry on day 1, and embellish on day 2.
Whichever way you choose, you will have fun.
