Everyone is painting the inside of glass bottles. DIY tutorials abound! This is my little version.
I love hobnail milk glass. It's loverly. It's delicate. It reminds me of Grandma. It's perfect for bridal parties, high tea and all things girly and frou frou-y. It's also pricey. Unless you fake it.
Ingredients:
- Hobnail glass votive candle holder (Michaels, Hobby Lobby, Dollar Store, thrift store)
- Acrylic or enamel paint in a pale color. (My votives will hold tissue paper flowers and don't need water. So acrylic paint is just fine. Plus, I plan to reuse them, so the paint needs to be removable.)
- Paint brush and plastic plate

Method:
- Wash the inside of votive and make sure there's no wax inside (especially along the sides). I suggest wiping it down with rubbing alcohol or nail polish remover. Let dry.
- Use a paint brush to paint the inside of the glass. Air dry completely before applying a second coat. You can also pour the paint into the glass and swirl it around to cover the inside, but I found that method wasted too much paint.
- After a couple coats, you should be done. Voila!
