Valentine Vase

I was trying to find a unique inexpensive gift idea for Emma's teacher for Valentines Day and I came across this cute idea online to make a stained glass valentine vase http://video.about.com/familycrafts/Valentine-Stained-Glass-Vase.html
It's was super easy and fun for Emma to do and her teacher loved it! I removed the wrapper on a snapple bottle and used goo gone for any residue and then rinsed it out with soapy water. Emma tore lots of different strips of red and pink tissue paper in different sizes. She would smother Elmer's glue on the bottle with her finger and then smooth on tissue paper. We did several layers and then the glue drys clear and it looks great in the light. Cute, cheap and fun for the kids to do.
