DIY SEA GLASS BOTTLES || Easy Sea Glass Tutorial

[@dustylove122]

I did mine a tiny bit differently. I used clear glue and then a blow dryer. I was worried the glass would shatter in the oven, cause I'm to forgetful. Lol. It came OUT GORGEOUS! MY DAUGHTER SAID SHE GOING TO DO THE PURPLE ONE. Thank you for this video. We didn't know this could be done 👌😊😊

I think you should be fine because it will only be a few hours. I have put flowers in them with water and as long as they are not in heat or sun they should be fine. I wouldn't leave them there for longer than a few hours tho only because I have not tested it longer then that. Hope she has a beautiful shower!

Do' you have to put these in the oven? I live in Vegas & it's summer. I'm wondering if I can just put them outside instead? I'm assuming this is to just make sure the mod podge gets completely dry?

[@othellalahue4760]

What type of pigments are you mixed to give different colors?

[@ashleyvanwie6800]

Hi there! ☺️ What did you use to get the air bubbles out? Did you just pop them? Thanks in advanced!

[@StuffMomsHaveTimeFor]

Starting with the less amount of bubbles is optimal so trying to roller or tap your mod podge and not stir it a lot when adding color to limit the bubbles you make. You can use a toothpick for larger bubbles or a hair dryer to try to get the small bubbles. If your solution is still very bubbling try painting the solution on! Hope that helps.

You can't use this technique for candles it will melt into the wax and your candle would be ruined. You are better off buying already colored containers or using the sea glass spray paint you can buy at a hardware store. Hope this helps!

[@IntenseHippie]

Do you have to leave the oven door open while baking or can the oven door be closed during this step in the process?

[@Mulanesse1]

Could be a dumb question but is it okay to cook in the oven after 😂

[@mirandajones1049]

Can you make candles after coloring the jars? Do you think the wax and heat from it will affect the jars?

[@StuffMomsHaveTimeFor]

Unfortunately, you can't use these as candle jars the heat is not safe on the mod podge. You're much better off getting fire safe containers and then using a sea glass spray paint on the outside before you make candles.

[@workout320]

Would this work for light bulbs ?? Doing this to the outside of course.

[@StuffMomsHaveTimeFor]

Light bulbs might get too hot since it is a glue based surface inside. I would suggest a sea glass spray paint instead of using candles or lights.

[@vivisasaki]

Thank you for sharing this great craft technique. I'd like to try this technique on my bedroom window. Would it still work if I didn't bake it?

[@StuffMomsHaveTimeFor]

If you let it dry out completely you probably could but it would probably take a few days.

[@nitab2376]

Rebecca, I loved that using food coloring has same effects as glass coloring inks. How can I do it so that lots of air bubbles come up & stay on? I’ll be doing some clear bottles for LED micro lights. Thought that air bubbles would add to the glimmering?

[@StuffMomsHaveTimeFor]

Thanks so much! If you want to create the bubbles it may be hard to control where they end up and the texture. My guess is the more air you get in the glue mixture the better it will be at creating bubbles. You could try a straw and blow in extra air and try not to pop the bubbles when you coat the glass. Hope it works! Tag me @stuff.moms.have.time.for with your finished product!

[@nitab2376]

Rebecca, Sorry to bother you again. Hopefully you can help. I have not colored my bottles yet. I’m experimenting with one jar. The mixture seemed too thick. When I allow the glass to drip for 1 1/2 hr face down on parchment a lot of the mix is piled inside. Is this normal? Or is it because the mixture is too thick? Is it OK to thin out the mixture with a few drops of water? Then apply? I don’t recall you giving exact measurements of Mod Podge and # of color drops? Did I miss that? Look forward to your directions. Much appreciated.

[@StuffMomsHaveTimeFor]

@@nitab2376 it is quite a thick mixture. I'm not sure I would add water only because I'm not 100% sure what that would do to it. If anything I would put it on a clean parchment paper and let it go for longer, maybe even overnight if you have time time and it seems like a lot of glue is left. There is really no correct amount to use it's just whatever you need to coat the glass you are using. Give it some more time upside down and then check again. As long as it is still not actively dripping or a lot of mod podge on the paper left you can put them oven low temp for a hour or so.

[@nitab2376]

OK. Thank you.

Can we use acrylic colors instead of food color

[@StuffMomsHaveTimeFor]

I have never tried acrylic colors so I do not know for sure that it will work. As long as you use the mod podge and just a little color I think it should work tho it may be a little less translucent.

[@iRAWkTheWorld]

I want to use this for my reusable drinking glass. Dyou think this would be safe to drink from when set? Or perhaps I should try do it from the outside

I would definitely not drink from these glasses. It looks beautiful but the modpodge is on the inside. If you are looking for sea glass to drink from I would do an exterior spray paint of sea glass.

[@erikavazquez2861]

Can you put any kind of glass inside of the oven?

[@Krystaldoll282]

You talk about taking the bubbles out? How did you d that? It looked like really didn’t have much mixture to use so we’re just guessing how much to use?

[@StuffMomsHaveTimeFor]

The easiest way to take the bubbles out to slowly coat the inside of the glass and then tap the glass upsidedown to get the bubbles out. Once the sides are coated you can remove any remaining bubbles with a toothpick. As for the solution you only need enough to cover the inside of the glass you are using. Since every glass people use is different there is no exact measurement. All surfaces should just have a think coating. Hope this helps!

[@sewcydnee]

Loved your video! Could you apply this technique to the outside of the glass?

[@StuffMomsHaveTimeFor]

I've never tried it on the outside of a glass but I think it might be hard to get a very soothe coat on the outside of the glass. If you use this technique you can't use it to put food or drink in because of the modpodge. But I do know they sell sea glass paint sprays that look beautiful so you may want to consider trying that and you can use that on the exterior.

[@at0micbunnygirl]

If you haven't tried it yet, you definitely could apply this to the outside of the glass. It's no different than using mod podge for decoupage. Just use a wide craft brush with soft bristles (the gold teklon with blue handles from Michaels work well). Apply with as few strokes as possible, with a thin coat. Then you could apply a sealer afterwards to make it waterproof.

[@cookecutter51]

The red one I did turned out beautifully, but the blue one is more of a turquoise color. Can I remove the coating by soaking in hot water, then try again to make royal blue by adding a bit of purple coloring along with the blue?

[@at0micbunnygirl]

If you haven't already tried this yet, I'm sure soaking it in hot water, then scrubbing with soap or running it thru the dishwasher would remove the coating. It's a water-based glue so it will come off glass with water.

[@cookecutter51]

@@at0micbunnygirl Thank you for your reply. I did soak the turquoise one in hot water and the coating came off easily. The next attempt was a bit more like the royal blue I wanted for my red, white and blue theme.

Hi again! Any tips for getting rid of bubbles?

[@Lmartin8162]

My Mod Podge is super “bubbly”….

[@StuffMomsHaveTimeFor]

Sorry I never saw this comment till now! My best advice is don't over stir the modpodge when you add any color it will add air to it. I would also use a fresh bottle if yours is very bubbly. It can get bubbly when it has been shaking. Coat the glass very thinly and you can use a tooth pick or even a hair dryer to try to get the bubbles out before you back it. Hope this helps! sorry for how long it took me to respond!

Help! My Mod Podge was very bubbly, little ones but impossible to pop every single one. Any advice? I stopped after the first one because of the bubbles...thanks

[@StuffMomsHaveTimeFor]

Hey Tina, the best thing to do get as many bubbles out of the modpodge before you even start. A lot of people shake it to make sure it's fully mixed but that creates a lot of bubbles. I would suggest tapping it really hard to get your mod podge as smooth as possible or roll the bottle along the counter to get bubbles out Then when you add color stir it as little as possible to not add more. If you still have a lot of bubbles you can trying hitting it up with a dryer. Or use a paintbrush to get it as smooth as possible.

[@laurachesvick9052]

What are you using to color the mod podge?

[@evicaf4e]

Is it necessary to use food coloring or can I use something different?

[@StuffMomsHaveTimeFor]

You can use any coloring that will mix well with the glue. Less is usually more with the color.

can I use diy mod podge?

[@StuffMomsHaveTimeFor]

Yes you should be able to use that. Just try to get out any bubbles first.
