HOW IT WAS DONE<br />

Depending on your time restrictions, you can either<br />

be efficient and drive to your local home decor, hardware,<br />

or craft store and be relatively sure you will<br />

find some sort of glass candle holder on offer. Or, if<br />

you have a little time up your sleeve and want to do it<br />

the low consumption way, visit your local yard sales,<br />

second-hand stores or peek through the boxes when<br />

it’s hard rubbish time. You may or may not have fast<br />

luck, but eventually, you’ll find what you want. Give<br />

your candle holders a good wash removing all oils<br />

and dust, and above all make sure they are completely<br />

dry. That’s the hard part!<br />

Placing the holders on your drop sheet, with<br />

gloves and mask on, shake your cans well for 2-3 minutes.<br />

If you can’t hear the mixing balls moving freely,<br />

then you still need to shake some more. At a distance<br />

of about 15-25 cm, spray your Montana GLASS<br />

Paint in a light even coat on the holder.<br />

Most likely one coat will be enough. If you want<br />

an opaquer finish, then you can opt for more coats<br />

once dry. Repeat this process to each holder. If you<br />

want to experiment, consider fading colors into each<br />

other, or masking areas off so you have a mix of clear<br />

glass and colored glass. We chose to stick to a single<br />

color, making the holders timeless and all-season.<br />

At this point, you may ask yourself, why a glass<br />

candleholder? Just as a candle is a source of light, so<br />

is the holder. By using Montana GLASS Paint, which<br />

is matte and transparent, we add another level to the<br />

possible ambiance that the candle can produce as<br />

light is also able to pass through the colorful opaque<br />

candle holder. And besides that, it looks cool.<br />

You are done and it was as easy as that! This is<br />

a project for absolutely any level and the most challenging<br />

part is locating the perfect shaped candle<br />

holders. So, start your search and make it happen.<br />

Happy Crafting!<br />
