this is a great project - I would use a clear hard plactic for safety. I have been unable to locate a replica of the Vintage Collectables Iron in order to reproduce this project - noticed someone else has asked the same question since march of this yr. If you put a project out I would think you'll make available all resources. To recreate this project you do need that iron trinket otherwise it just looks like a basic glass jar!
