Alcohol Ink Candle Holder

OK, I admit it.  I'm addicted to alcohol inks.  They are so fun to play with!  I recently made some Hand-Stamped Tile Coasters (see previous post) using alcohol inks and fell in love with them!  Because they worked so well on the tumbled marble, I wanted to see how they would work on glass. 

The first chance I had, I went to the Dollar Store by my house and bought a pretty, glass vase for $1.00.  You can't beat that price!

Once I got home, I looked at the different colors of alcohol inks I had and wanted to grab some of the colors that would go well with the decor in my living room, which happen to be earth tones.  I finally decided on caramel, cranberry and butterscotch.

I liberally coated my applicator with the ink and then proceeded to dab the ink onto the vase in a random pattern.  I repeated this process with each color until the vase was completely covered.

I really liked how the vase turned out and was playing around with it, trying to find the perfect flowers to go in it when I had an epiphany.  About two months ago, I attended a candle party and bought some tealight candles.  I took one of the tealights and put into the base of the base and wouldn't you know it...  My pretty little vase turned into a beautiful candle holder!
