DIY Sea Glass Decor


Even though I live in Florida, I can't get enough of the beach. Sand, surf, and beautiful sunsets are kind of my favorite. I am inspired by the turquoise colors of the ocean, the driftwood that washes up on the shore, and I love the salty sea air. When I was upgrading my home for the summer with new decor, I thought about how to infuse my favorite colors and textures. I knew that I needed more blue, and I stumbled upon an old vase. I thought that this would be a simple project to make, and it would add color to my otherwise drab decor.


Supplies:
Glass vase (try using one you already have!)
¼ cup white craft glue
2-3 drops blue food coloring
2-3 drops green food coloring
Small sponge crafting brush
Bowl

Directions:
Add 1/4 cup of glue to the mixing bowl.
Stir in one drop of the food colorings and mix. Do this gradually, one drop at a time, until you get the color that you want. You want a sea green color.
You can test the color by swiping it on a clear glass surface to see what color it is. It will wash off with soap and water.
Use the sponge to wipe the newly colored glue inside the glass. Pro tip: If you plan on using the vase with water, you will want to paint OUTSIDE instead.

Apply two coats. Let dry between applications.
Once the glue has dried, a beautiful matte finish will appear.
