You can check out the techniques from these projects here. White Sea Glass Bottles : Faux Sea Glass with Netting : Aqua Jars : Sea Glass Bowl : Beach Glass with Mod Podge
I started with a coat of white frost paint and slowly added color. You want to brush on the paint evenly and in a very thin layer going in the same direction. My first coat was vertical. Let the paint dry and then paint a horizontal coat.
The paint becomes more translucent and frosty as it dries. This glass paint cures in 3 weeks. If you’re impatient like I am, you can put your jars in a cold oven and then turn on the oven. Bake at 300 degrees for one hour. Turn off the oven, letting the jars cool inside oven. You don’t want to put the jars in a pre-heated oven or they may crack.
Thanks so much for stopping by.
They came out lovely, perfect for spring!
ReplyDeleteI need this in my life! My mother will be so floored... She's obsessed with sea glass and this is so totally up her alley. Thank you for sharing! - Jerusha, ThePositiveYear.com
ReplyDeleteThis is such a fabulous idea, Carolyn! I love how they turned out. May need to add this to my list of things to try.
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure if you join Thursday Favorite Things Blog Hop, but we would love to have you join us. The party goes live each Wednesday evening at 7 p.m MST.
I know I have visited your blog many times in the past, but I just can't quite remember if it was through the link party that I co-hostess or if I joined a link party that you co-hostess. Oh the struggles of keeping all the blogs I love in order. Ha, ha.
Happy Easter,

Thanks for the invite Olivia. I agree, the struggles of keeping up with all the blogs! :) I'll pop by your party this week. My link party opens every Tuesday at 1:00 PST and stays open through Saturday. Hope you join the fun at my link up too. Thanks.
DeleteThis is so beautiful!! Unfortunately nobody I know of here in The Netherlands, where I live, sells Martha's stuff, otherwise I would paint all my jars with this! Love it!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! I love sea glass and these sweet DIY's are amazing!
ReplyDeleteThese are simply so sweet. I love sea glass and the ocean inspired my recent bathroom upgrade but we literally have zero decorations excluding towels if you can count that. This is something I can use an make it match the tiles.
