Hi Lina! thanks for sharing all of these great Summer projects! I have been experimenting for several Summers on how to paint clear glass Christmas balls to look like Japanese fishing floats. I’ve never been 100% happy with any one technique. I am going to try the one you have listed that uses glue and food coloring…that might be the winner. I saw your post over at “DIY by Design” blog party.

Thanks, Kitty! 🙂 I’ve never heard of glass fishing floats – but they’re so pretty: I think I’ll have to try to make some too! Thanks for the idea! 😀 PS I love your site!
