Coloring your own glass to make custom decorations from dollar store finds and recycling bin rescues is a popular project these days. A lot of people use stained glass spray paint to get this effect, but it’s not the cheapest paint around; a can of it will probably run you around $10. But did you know that you can get the same look with things you likely have on hand? Carolyn from Carolyn’s Homework used a Mod-Podge-and-food-coloring method to turn some plain ol’ jars into display-worthy decor pieces! [how to make faux cranberry glass]
Project estimate:
- Glass containers, on hand or $1 and up
- Mod Podge, on hand
- Water, on hand
- Food coloring, on hand
- Embellishments (optional), on hand or $1 and up
Total: Free and up

I love this. I’ve been wanting to this to some jars, but that stained glass paint is expensive. I can definitely do this!
