You need
one teaspoon of Elmer's glue
three drops of food coloring of your choice
mix colors together to get the color you wish
1, 1/2 teaspoons of water ..
Mix Elmer’s glue with food coloring and paint it on to any glass to make it look like sea glass when dry. In a bowl
Best Results use a foam brush
this may require 5 - 10 coats to get the color you desire.
Paint the outside Mason jar or Glass Jar
any color you want
then Seal the Jar
Seal the jar with Epoxy Glue or a Clear Varnish to last
many many years of use if you are planning to use this
for Drinking or for food purposes .
Coat it with a food Grade Varnish found
in Craft stores
These look really nice with candles, or electric
candles, glow sticks etc inside them

Optional ideas by Daw
if you wanted you put tape on the Jar in a Goddess
spiral shape or pentacle ,stars, moon, Sun etc other
symbols and paint as normally and take the tape off
then paint the symbol in a different color
and then when your done put a LED Battery Candle
inside imagine how gorgeous that would look
or add a bit of Glitter to this for a Shimmer look
Paint outside the Jars not inside
and Only White Elmers Glue Works
I have not Tested this on PVA glue or other Glues
if you do not use alot of food coloring it will come out light like this the Darker the food coloring the darker the color experiment a bit and have fun
for mine I did ten coats and very dark colors
