Drip 2-3 drops of blue alcohol ink into the fish bowl, swirling it around until the alcohol ink has coated about 1/3 of the interior of the bowl.With the glue, affix the fish bowl's bottom to the top of the candle stand.Additionally, gently wipe the inside of the fish bowl to remove any loose paint particles, taking care to not wipe away the spray paint finish, but removing a little bit in places to make sure some light will seep through well. With a damp paper towel, wipe off the exterior of the fish bowl, removing all bits of the spray paint that may have gotten on the outside of the bowl.Make sure your fish bowl is clean and dry on the inside, then, working outside or in a very well ventilated area, spray the inside of the fish bowl 4-5 times with the Krylon Looking Glass spray paint on the interior only, waiting 1-2 minutes between each thin coat, per the directions on the can.How Do I Make this Dollar Tree Crystal Ball Vase?
