DIY 3-step vases
If you’ve ever had fresh blooms delivered, there’s a good chance they came in a rather non-descript glass vase. Over the years, these non-descript glass vases seem to procreate, multiplying in number till you’ve got a shelf full. While every household needs a few plain glass vessels, there’s something much more fun about colour. Not only will a colourful vase brighten up your home, it also complements the blooms contained within. Fortunately, it’s quick, easy AND inexpensive to transform plain glass vases into something much more eye-catching. Here’s how.
You will need:
- Plain glass vases (small to medium sized)
- Puffy paint from an art and craft store
- Matte spray paint in your choice of colour(s)
How to:
Note: Make sure your vases are clean and dust free before painting. A quick rinse or wipe down with a damp cloth with ensure a smooth, easily painted surface.
1. Apply puffy paint
Use puffy paint to carefully place evenly spaced columns of dots on to your vase. This will add texture and give a funky look and feel to the finished product.
2. Adhere to drying time
Allow puffy paint ample time to dry completely before the next step.
3. Spray paint
Cover surface with newspaper or a protective sheet and spray vase with your chosen colour. Allow to dry before adding a second coat. Let the vases dry completely in a protected spot before use.
