Alter frosted glass to make it feel and look pitted as if it were rolling around in sand and salt as true sea glass.

Supplies

Step-by-Step

1. Step 1

   Apply light colored pigment inks randomly on Frosted Memory Glass, making sure to cover the entire surface

   

2. Step 2

   Pour UTEE over the pigment inks

   

3. and heat until the UTEE is melted.

   

4. Step 3

   While the UTEE is still hot pour on a second layer of UTEE and melt. Repeat this process 2 to 3 times to build up a thick layer of UTEE.

   

5. Step 4

   Apply Perfect Medium to the glass and brush on a heavy layer of Perfect Pearls.

   

6. Sprinkle on a layer of UTEE

   

7. Step 5

   Starting 12 inches away to keep UTEE from blowing, heat UTEE and Perfect Pearls until melted. Continue working with the heat gun, sprinkle on a pinch of UTEE and melt. This will open up the UTEE to form holes in the surface.

   

8. Step 6

   While the UTEE is still hot, spray the surface with a hard stream of water, which will cause the surface to pit. Clean up the water and dry the glass with paper towel.

   You now have a piece of sea glass that you can use as an embellishment, make a sun catcher or a piece of wearable jewelry.
