Marbled Candle Votive
$5
30 Minutes
Easy
Last year I used nail polish on some fresh miniature pumpkins to give them a marbled look. I loved how they turned out, but because I used fresh pumpkins I had to throw them out after the season was over. I wanted to try it again in a more permanent way this year, and I love how it turned out! Making these marbled candle votives is so easy!
You will need a large bowl of water (be sure to use a bowl you won't mind ruining!), nail polish (the super cheap stuff from the dollar store works great), and glass votives or mason jars.

Pour at least two colors of the nail polish into your water
you can vary the look by adding more or less of a color, or by how much you mix it before you dip your glass! I love how versatile it is!
I'm loving how they turned out, and this year I won't have to toss them when the season is over!

Have a question about this project?
Does anyone have any thoughts or suggestions on using this technique on glass pendant light globes?
So just wondering- can you remove it with polish remover too..?
Do we have to seal the nail polish on the glasses in any way, like baking or using mod podge?
