After you’ve finished decorating the glass, spray it with white paint. When it’s dry, your candle holder will look as if it’s been iced in the winter cold.

If you didn't gather enough suitable driftwood on your summer beach walks, craft stores have a good selection. Or, you could use cinnamon sticks, for example. You can also add coarse salt or use a special sparkle paint to give your glass a unique look.
