First Time Link Party

I have seen these "link parties" o line for a couple years now, but I've never participated in one. Today, I was on Pinterest (hard to believe, isn't it?!?) and I ran across "How to get clicked at Link Parties", which led me to "Practically Functional", which had a link party going called "Creativity Unleashed", which led me to "One Project Closer", which is where I added my link.


You are supposed to link to a post on your blog that other people might find of interest. These posts are also supposed to be fairly recent. The most recent tutorial that I did was the Faux Milk Glass, which was on 12/31/13. I hope that I don't get in trouble for adding something that's a little old.


So, part of my plan for the new year is going to be to participate in these link parties every week. I would really like to get some more readers. I do realize that to get more readers, you have to offer them something worth their while to read. I'm going to do some more tutorials and who knows, I might even get brave enough to do a video tutorial.


Peace,
Cyndi

Faux Milk Glass

I've seen many tutorials on making faux milk glass over the years.  I, finally, gave it a try and it couldn't be any easier.

I used Starbucks bottles.  I cleaned them inside and out with Citrasolv cleaner.  You can use any cleanser, but I have found that Citrasolv works great for removing the label residue.

All you need to do is make little dots with a hot glue gun.  I've seen people make all kinds of decorations with the glue, but I stayed with the dots because I have always liked the hobnail milk glass.  After the glue was completely dry, I sprayed a couple coats of gloss, white paint.  That's it.  Easy-Peasy!
