3. Painted Sea Glass Lantern
Bring the coastal, weathered look of sea glass into your home with this simple paint-and-glue technique. This style is perfect for those who love a beachy, airy aesthetic and want to add a pop of subtle color to their decor.
How to Make
Mix a small amount of white school glue with a few drops of food coloring or glass paint in a bowl. Paint the mixture onto the outside of your glass bottle using a foam brush. The texture will be slightly uneven, which is exactly what gives it that organic, sea-glass look. Once dry, the light will filter through the color in a soft, muted way. Tie a bit of jute twine around the neck for a nautical finish.
