Here's a great easy project that's perfect for kids and fun for adults! We spend lots of time making great votive candles, why not dress them up even more with hand made votive holders? Some tissue paper, glue, a votive holder and a brush are all you'll need - and the variations are endless.
For this project you'll need:
- A glass votive holder
- Small pieces of colored tissue paper (I prefer tissue paper - it gives a nice translucence to the votive holder, but you can also use newspaper, magazine paper, or thin pieces of cloth)
- White glue diluted with a little bit of water
- A small brush
Assemble your materials. Put about three tablespoons of white glue into a jar or cup and add about one tablespoon of water. You want it about the consistency of watery paint.
Cut your tissue paper into small squares or other patterns. For a more random stained glass look, tear the paper into random varied shapes.
