Upcycling a glass votive

I am going to admit that I am a junkie when it comes to Pinterest.  Who does not love going onto the site and just look around to see what trouble we can come up with.  It can be organizing the home to finding things to do with the kids during the long summer months. I have done this little glass votive that I cleaned out and decorated for my oldest daughter.  Here is what I did: 

The first thing I did was to put the candle in a pot of water and let the candle melt.  It took about 10 minutes or so but it went by quickly.

Then when the candle is all out of the votive, wash it out with mild soap and water.  Of course I don't have a picture for the second step but you have the idea.  

What you can do is use Mod Podge or go the effective way,  use one part or white glue and one part water.  Use any type of glitter that you may have at home or just stick to the color theme.  The possibilities are endless.  

Make sure you use a foam brush when applying the Mod Podge.  Work quickly because it dries fast.  One you coat the votive you are ready to use the glitter.

Since the glitter tube is small.  I just dumped the whole thing in a d tilted the votive so all the glitter stayed.  With the remaining glitter I just put it back in the container.  

And here is the finished project.  It took less than 5 minutes and I am planning on doing more of these as gifts and for around the house.  

Hope to give you more tutorials soon.  Have a good week.
