Painted Vases

Years Ago HGTV had a show called Crafters Coast To Coast. I loved that
show, tried hard to see it every day. I would jot down ideas in my tablet labeled
Crafts 2 Try. I must confess that I had forgotten all about
it.

My kids have being saying for awhile now that either I'm a Hoarder or a few
items away from being one. The statement may have some truth to it, lol! I
decided to do some downsizing, while doing so I came across a duffel bag full
of crafting tools, pages ripped from magazines, my tablet of ideas among other
things. Well of course I couldn't get rid of that, to prove it was useful and very
much needed I did a project from the tablet.

I didn't exactly use the example I had seen on CCTC cause it involved using
water and spray paint, on this particular day it was raining so I couldn't go out
to use spray paint. Then I remembered similar ideas I had seen out in blogland
using acrylic paint. I have 100s of those small bottles of paint stashed in my paint
closet, and who doesn't pick up those cheap glass vases at yard sales or thrift stores?

Washed in Soapy Water & Set Aside to Dry

Draining

After

I pulled all my materials out and got to work. Select your vases or glasses, wash
them in soapy water and let them completely dry. Once dry, pour in paint, swirl it
around until glass is fully coated then drain off excess paint (pour back into container
to be used again). Clean the rims with a damp cloth. All that is left to do is wait for them to dry!
