Glass Stone Votive Holder

Here's my first project posting, inspired by a project my friend J found, you can view it here on her blog. We decorated wine bottles with the glass stones you find in floral sections of just about any craft store. I thought it would be neat to try to decorate votive holders with the same glass stones, so here is my take on this easy craft.


Armed with a glue gun and lots of glass stones, anyone can do this craft. Things to think about, spacing and glue gun safety! More than likely you will need to leave a little space between the stones (like 1/8 inch) or you will end up with a space not quite big enough for another stone. For those with perfectionist tendencies, this will be problematic! You may have to pull off the stones and start over once you see how many will fit, as I did. This votive used 9 stones in each row. As for glue gun safety refer to my friend's blog regarding the wine bottles. Lot's of blistered fingers if you aren't too careful!

Can't wait to see what it looks like with a candle in it. I'm going to use a tea light so I don't risk the stones falling off when I need to replace the candle.
