Amazing DIY Alcohol Ink Glass Candle Holders | Dollar Tree DIY

Today I'm enhancing glassware from the Dollar Tree to make it look more upscale. I'm applying a confetti abstract design using alcohol ink to add a color stain to the glasses. These glass pieces are being transformed into stylish candle holders. They give the impression of a tinted blown glass effect. Find more details below on how I created each piece!

Materials:

• Alcohol Ink

• Glass Bowls

• Glass Drinkware

• Marbles

• Glue

• Krylon Kamar Varnish Spray Sealant

Step 1: Grab a glass bowl from the dollar store.

Step 2: Grab a bottle of brown alcohol ink from the craft store.

Step 3: Use strong hold glue to attach the marbles to the glass bowl. Allow the marbles to set.

Step 4: Apply a few drops of alcohol ink to the exterior of the bowl and swirl it to cover the entire surface. Allow the ink to dry overnight or longer.

Step 5: Apply a spray sealer to seal the glass. I discovered that this Krylon sealant provided the best outcome in preserving the true color. I applied about three coats, allowing each to dry before adding the next.

Step 6: Apply glue to the bottom of one of the bowls and attach to the bottom of another.

Step 7: Place a pillar candle into the bowl.
