DIY Seaglass Bottles


I love seaglass. There’s something beautiful and simple and rugged about glass that has survived, even in it’s broken form, a trip into the ocean. I have a fantasy about sewing pieces of seaglass into lightweight curtains one day but so far, I haven’t gathered enough glass to even get started. For now I’ll satisfy my love for it with these faux seaglass bottles

Things you’ll need:
Empty iced coffee bottles
White glue
Food coloring
Washable containers
Foam brush

Things to do:
1. Wash and dry your bottles, removing as much of the label glue as possible.

2. On a covered work surface, mix the white glue and a few drops of food colors (we used different combinations of blue and green) with a small amount of water (just a few drops) until you have the shade you are after.

3. Lightly paint the outside of the bottles, brushing the glue mixture onto the glass in a downward motion. Allow the glue to dry and then add a second coat to even out any dark spots. You want a nice, light, even surface. The matte finish of the glue will mimic the tumbled surface of real seaglass.
