DIY Garden Candles

By Elly de Waal

Degrease the glassware with alcohol.
Glue the little stones onto the surface however you like, and let them dry thoroughly.
Prepare small amounts of mortar and spread it between the bricks according to the instructions. Let it dry.
Work has been done on the inside of the low, wide container.

Now get started with the Pébéo Vitrail paint.
Please Note! This paint is turpentine-based; wear gloves, clean the brushes with turpentine, and ensure good ventilation while working and during drying.

Paint each side of the square glass pane with stained-glass paint. Start by adding small patches of green, for example, and then fill in the rest with blue; the colors will blend beautifully together as you paint wet-on-wet. Let it dry. Next, move on to the next side. When painting curved shapes, be careful not to let too much paint drip off, so use it sparingly.
TIP! If paint gets on the white grout, touch it up with white acrylic paint.

For the glass with the little mirrors, the paint was thinned with the transparent Stained Glass Lightening Medium This is attached to the inside.
This is easier because all the stones are already in place, so it's hard to paint between them.
You can also paint the glass first and then glue on the rhinestones (if you're not going to apply grout).
