This is so clever. Thank you for teaching us your techniques and sharing your knowledge. It is very generous of you. From Vancouver Island, BC, Canada.
Your flowers are lovely. It takes time to hunt for the pieces and see what works together, putting it all together…it’s an art, a hobby and looks beautiful in the flower beds. I see similar ones at the farmers market/antique places around but they are usually glued together. My husband was (retired) a sales representative for a large retailer in automotive paints. I am familiar with the products/uses that you mentioned. The chameleon paint (not the powder form) that comes in a half pint size can sells for $350. That was 12 years ago so I know it cost quite a bit more today. I like experimenting too. I used it on a bamboo turtle that had hanging wind chimes. Painted it in the peacock chameleon paint; blues,greens, purples beautiful sheen at all different angles. 7 years ago… no sealer and has held up in my climate…no peeling, fading or chipping. I have 4 true seasons. Rain, snow, drought and windstorms. Holds up better than any I could purchase in any garden section. I tested on lots of other things… some surfaces it is vital that you sand, prime, paint and seal. If I am working with metal I clean with mineral spirits or vinegar, rinse and dry. Just depends on surface type and if you using for interior or exterior. I have so much paint-my husband has never liked painting. I love it. I do miss the discounts on supplies from when he was working. I used to be a painter I did businesses, houses, churches. I’m familiar with exterior/ interior/chemicals. Learning to use automotive paints and chemicals on other projects besides cars has been a fun hobby ... also painted our RV shop doors in copper and that turned out better than I could’ve imagined. I did faux metal straps that looked like it was riveted to the door. I will say you shouldn’t mix different brands of paint as some don’t interact well. Just as oil and water don’t mix well. Also when I first started playing around with automotive paints I had a eagle holding a flag that was made of some type of styrofoam… very densed. I started painting with the automotive paints and it melted the styrofoam. I also like up-cycling for the sheer joy of seeing the transformation and just to say “yes, I created that!”

Way I am I'd drill right through the table
Thx for the great videos
So use a board underneath that's thicker than the length of the drill bit.

Always wear safety glasses when using a drill!
Where do you get the adapters?
Yes, I would love to know too. Or at least a closer look at then, l know you said you had someone make yours for you.
There are UA-cam videos to teach you how to drill the holes. I would suggest watching before trying to drill glass
