DIY Painted Votives
The glass Michelle uses to clean her brushes inspired us to paint the insides of these votives for some colorful candlelight. They couldn’t be easier to make. Pick up a case of glass votives from your nearest floral wholesaler or local Target. Scribble watery paint on the inside of clear glass candleholders and don’t try too hard…if you mess with them too much you’ll just make brown. If you’re having a hard time with this project you may need some more wine to help you loosen up. ;) When they’re dry, plunk in a votive. Done!

thanks everyone!
weebs, i just used regular acrylic paint
I think it should be noted to read the paint label….some are flammable! eek
So pretty! I keep coming back to look at this.
I just replaced wine with beer and recruited my fiancé for this project. They turned out funky and fantastic!

Awesome idea for weddings or any other place you want color and subtle light. I agree, though, be sure the paint isnt flammable.
