Tea Light
Tea lights make a beautiful adornment for your table or give them to your friends as gifts.
This is a great project to start with because you don’t need any tools and there is no cutting required.
In the first one I used broken china and instead of grouting I used glitter glue to allow the light to shine through.
In the second I used mini metallic glass tiles and shimmer irregular cut tiles.

Project One
Materials Glass tea light Broken china in three colours: red, yellow, green Crystal clear Fix it Fast - silicone adhesive Ice block sticks for the glue Silver glitter glue Sandpaper |
5. Using an ice block stick smear some silicone adhesive to the glass and begin sticking the tiles into it. Leave a small gap between the tiles for the grout. Be sure to use enough glue so that you can push the tiles in but not so much that it oozes up between the tiles. Helpful Hint: I used the edge of the plate for the bottom edge of the glass. |

Project Two
Materials Glass tea light Glass Tiles: 25 of each colour - mini metallic: Pineweave, Copper, Hot Molten 30 Shimmer Irregular Cut tiles - Citrine Crystal clear Fix it Fast - silicone adhesive Ice block sticks for the glue Grey Grout Sandpaper |
6. Prepare the grout as per manufacturers instructions or see my instructions. Spread the grout over the tea light using a sponge being sure to get it into all the gaps. Wipe off the excess and leave for 10 minutes. Once a haze begins to form wipe clean with a clean soft cloth. After an hour give one final buff with a soft clean cloth. |
