"Stained Glass" Votive Holders

SUPPLIES
Tissue Paper (any colors you want)
Mod Podge (matte finish) - In a pinch, you can use school glue
Paintbrush
Scissors
Glass containers to fit your candles
Paper punches in various shapes
Q-tips
DIRECTIONS

1. Cut out the tissue paper shapes that you want. Punch out quite a bit, you can always do more later if you didn't cut enough.
2. Water down some Mod Podge (not super drippy, but thinned-out).
3. Start putting your tissue paper shapes onto the glass using your paintbrush.

• Tissue paper is so thin you can pick up the pieces with the wet paintbrush.
• You can brush Mod Podge onto glass first, then stick the paper shapes, just brush over the shapes again afterward so they are saturated.
• Tissue paper rips easily so do not be rough, take your time and brush gently.
• You can overlap shapes if you prefer.
1. Once you are done decorating the glass, set it aside to dry.
2. Once dry, any areas not covered with tissue paper will look frosted.
• If you'd prefer the areas to be clear, simply dip a Q-tip in hot water and carefully scrub off the Mod Podge.
3. Place a candle into your glass container, and enjoy.

10 Sexual Drinking Games

Nine Cans of Beer or the Floor

  -  You will need

          - Nine cans of beer per person (not everyone will finish this game...)

          -  A shot glass (easiest if everyone has their own).

          -  A time keeper (a kitchen timer that will beep and can be reset quickly works best).

  -  Every minute for 100 minutes you take a shot of beer.

  -  If you choose to not take a shot, you must remove one article of clothing.

          -  The article of clothing is decided by a player of your choice.

  -  At first this game may seem easy, but when you add it up, it comes out to about 9 beers in 1.5 hours.

  -  Warning: Only play this game with people you trust.

          -  You may experience severe drunkenness or nudity fairly quickly.

Chutes and Ladders

  -  Choose the shot of your choice.

  -  When you go up a ladder, you take a shot.

  -  When you go down a chute, you take off an article of clothing of your choice.

Flip Sip or Strip

  -  Best if you have at least 3 people

  -  Player 1 flips a coin and calls head or tails while it is in the air

          -  If they call it correctly, they pass the coin to the right and they are safe.

          -  If they call it incorrectly, then they must choose:

               -  Sip: Take a shot

               -  Strip: Remove one article of clothing

  -  The only catch is that you can not pick sip or strip more than two times in a row.

Go Fish

  -  Deal a deck of cards like you normally would for this game (each player gets 7 cards).

  -  When you ask for a card and are told "Go Fish" you must take a shot.

  -  When you ask for a card and receive the match, the person who you asked must take off an article of clothing.

High or Low

  -  Choose someone to be "the dealer."

  -  The dealer will put down a card and you must guess if the next card will be higher or lower.

  -  If you are correct you get to tell one player of your choice to take a shot or remove an article of clothing of their choice.

  -  If you are incorrect, then you must take a shot.

Ice Tray Quarters

  -  Color each half of the ice tray a different color to designate your side apart from your partner's.

  -  Play like you would normal quarters.

  -  Designate the different departments as different actions (decide these before game starts)

          -  "You take a shot"

          -  "Someone of your choice takes a shot"

          -  "You remove an article of clothing"

          -  "Someone of your choice removes an article of clothing"

Guess or Strip

  -  Each player is dealt 1 card which they cannot look at.

  -  Hold the card in front of you for everyone else to see (or your forehead like Indian War)

  -  You must guess which card you have, how many #'s you are off is the number of shots you must take.

  -  The person who is the furthest off must remove an article of clothing.

James Bond

  -  Turn on any James Bond movie.

  -  Every time someone says "James" drink 2 shots.

  -  When someone says "Bond" drink 1 shot.

  -  Every time someone says "James Bond" remove an article of clothing.

Aces

  -  Put a deck of cards in the middle of the table.

  -  Go around the table and each player draws one card.

          -  If you draw a black card, you take 1 shot.

          -  If you draw a red card, you take 2 shots.

          -  If you draw an ace, king, or queen of any color you remove an article of clothing.

Thumb Master

  -  Designate someone the "Thumb Master."

  -  Throughout the night when this person places their thumb on the table the last person to see it has to:

          -  Remove an article of clothing or take a shot, Thumb Master's choice.

  -  The person who lost is now the new Thumb Master, and the game continues.
