Sea Glass Candle Holder
After posting the seashell wreath, I got inspired to make a sea glass candle holder.
I purchsed a clear candle holder at the dollar store and a package of decorative sea glass from Michaels for about $2.50.
I tried to use E6000 glue to attach the glass pieces, but they kept sliding off so I opted for high heat hot glue for a glue gun and it worked great. The glass pieces are holding great and the glue is totally clear.
Just pick pieces of glass, apply glue and place them on the container as you go. It's like doing an uncharted mosaic. I loved it!
It's OK to have some clear spaces between the pieces, looks good. I was afraid that one package of glass d wouldn't do it, but I had plenty with a few pieces left over. I added a jute bow and a candle and ta da..... a candle holder! So cute on a deck! Enjoy!

I *love* sea glass and this is a great project! I agree, it's perfect for out on the patio. Thanks for linking up to Finished for Friday.
What a great idea....really makes a difference with not much money!!! Great job.
I came over from Follow Me Friday. Loved the sea glass candle holder. What a fun idea. I was drawn here by your cupcake. I am hungry right now and it is way past bedtime. It must be a sickness to be dreaming of food when I should be dreaming in bed. Come visit - Purple Chocolat Home.
Oh, you fooled me!!! I followed up on the cupcake, and I won't be eating it anytime soon. So cute, but in real life, not too edible.
I bet this looks gorgeous when the candle is burning. Fantastic idea - Very pretty! Hope you are enjoying your weekend! ~ Stephanie Lynn
I'll bet those colors sparkle at night when the candle is lit.
Your candle holder turned out beautifully! What an awesome makeover. :-)
That is super cute! My husband and I collect sea glass and this is a great way to use some of the THOUSANDS of pieces we have.
