Glowing Hurricane Glasses

Wrap hurricane glasses in layers of colorful tissue paper to glowing effect: Although it appears there are multiple tints, only one shade is used.

Tools and Materials
Assorted sizes hurricane glasses or similar clear glass cylinders (GA171-20, BV888-30, CX2050/C), $13-$35 each, from Jamali Garden

Tissue paper in assorted colors, $2.39 for 24-pack, from Blick Art Materials

Tape

Small votive candles

Glowing Hurricane Glasses How-To
1. Cut 4 pieces of 20-by-26-inch tissue paper in half crosswise. Lay flat on a work surface, and make a 1- to 2-inch fold on the bottom of one piece. 

2. Make a larger fold in another piece, and fit it into the fold of the first piece of paper. Repeat process with remaining pieces of paper, making some folds thinner and some wider. 

3. Wrap around hurricane glasses, and then secure with tape. Place a small votive candle in each. Be sure wick is cut short and doesn't come in contact with the paper.
