Stained-Glass Candle Holder

Check these out, too...

Spice up your life (or your bedroom) with this super simple stained glass candle holder. Easy to make and even easier to enjoy, what a great way to show off your colorful personality…literally!

What you'll need:

Clear Glass Jar/Bottle
Tissue Paper in Assorted Colors
Liquid Glue
Water
Big Paintbrush
Candle

What you'll do:

Clean and dry off your jar. Mix some glue with a little water so it makes a liquid varnish that can be applied with a paintbrush. Tear off pieces of tissue paper and paste then one at a time onto the jar using your brush and varnish. Do this until the entire jar is covered. When dry, paint on another layer of glue and let dry. Place a tea candle inside and enjoy the gorgeous glow.

The rougher the edges and the more the pieces overlap, the better it’ll look, so don’t be afraid of “messing up.” Experiment with patterned tissue paper for a funkier look.

Gift it! Make a few stained glass candle holders--try nesting three different-sized jars inside each other for a cute presentation, or finding some small, plain glass votives at a craft store--for each girl you have in mind, wrap 'em up in cellophane, tissue paper or a gift bag, and add a cute ribbon. Voila!

MOD MOD MOD!!! I want my bedroom to stop looking little girl and start making it more teenagish. But my mom wont let me buy new furniture or a new bedspread. My room has light pink and green EVERYWHERe and my Bedspread has a BUNCH of flowers on it, HELP!!!

Hey there chica, you could always check out a vintage or thrift store in your town for some sweet finds at a great price. Fine a cool afghan or blanket to change things up, or ask your mom if you could paint the walls. Also, you could make a photo collage or bulletin board of you and your BFF's to update it.

hey so i was wondering what are some cool new crafts 2 spice up my bedroom for fall? my room is green with a mural of a woods on the wall so i want 2 make it look more like autumn. any ideas? thanks!

Hmm, maybe you could do something with some fake plants. I have a kind of beachy-themed room, so I have some fake flower strands hanging around my window and my mirror. Maybe you could do something like that with leaves - but I guess that's not really a craft. You could decorate a bulletin board or picture frames to go with the theme, using fabric paint, regular paint or other fun items like colorful buttons or fake leaves. It would also be cool to make a pillow to go on top of your bed from a fabric that you really like. You could make a welcome sign to your room saying "____'s Room" with some autumn leaves surrounding it, or something like that. Good luck!
