Upcycling Pretty Milk Glass

Milk glass is a commonly donated item to Goodwill. They make a perfect "Make Something Today" project.
Allegan Store        
Three Rivers Store

Some milk glass pieces are collectible and you may not want to paint them or alter.

How can you tell the difference between common, inexpensive milk glass and collectible milk glass? Inexpensive milk glass will have a thin, pasty gray look. Like Fat Free Milk! This type of milk glass was commonly sold through florist for flower arrangements, and so it is plentiful and does not have a lot of value. Good milk glass will be heavy and have a rich, thick color. Like Vitamin D Milk!
