I've been recycling bottles with nice shapes for diy projects. I wanted to try this sea glass effect on bottles. I can use it as accent piece to any room or use it as a vase.
All the materials I used are stuff I already have: recycled bottles, food coloring, elmer's glue, paint brush, disposable bowl and twine.

I've been saving liquor bottles for this project.
Materials I used.
1st, I washed the bottles. To have the sticker label removed, I soaked the bottles in warm water with liquid dish soap for 30 minutes, then I scrubbed the label off with sponge.
Once all the labels are off, I dried it off.
When it's all dried up, I mixed one food coloring per bottle with white glue. Any brand will do. I used 1 disposable bowl for each bottle.
I let it dry overnight.
This is what it looked liked when it dried.
I added some twines and put the lids on. Instant mantle or dining room accent decor.
Enjoyed the project?
