Sea Glass Candle Holders

When I was growing up we use to go to the Lake Erie Shore

and look for sea glass......we had tons of it, enough that my brother did all kinds of cool things with it.  I know it has become quite scarce in recent years....(which in all actuality is a good thing....since that means that there must not be as many people littering and throwing their bottles 

in the lake).   :-)

But it is a little sad. 

The most coveted of all was the blue...it was everyone's favorite.  

I saw this little craft somewhere and thought I'd give it a try and see if they looked like the beloved glass I use to collect.

Supplies are: 

 white glue, food coloring, a paint brush and some clear glass candle holders.

I made little trays out of foil to mix my "concoction" in....

which is white glue and the food coloring...

I put about three or four drops in to about 4 or 5 tbsp 

of glue

I did also wash the candle holders that I got from Goodwill and

dried them really well before starting.

Paint the OUTSIDE of the holder ONLY

2 coats is probably a good idea

I then decided to transfer them to a piece of foil to dry, because they

were dripping a little and I didn't want the paper towel stuck to the

bottom of each of them.
