Painted Glass Vases

Good Morning Friends...

Today I am going to show you my new vases I just finished..

I love them

and 

they were really easy to make....

I picked these up at my favorite thrift store last week

and 

they looked like this....

Nothing exceptional or eye-catching for sure...

but, 

I did like their shapes.

I had been looking for something to try a technique

I had seen on Pinterest

on several different types of bottles and vases.

I was dying to try it

and 

when I found these I knew they were the ones to try it on...

I used white acrylic craft paint and 

Valspar's Denim paint.

I poured the same amount of 

white paint in each of three small Dixie cups.

Then in the first cup I added a small amount of Denim paint,

in the second one I doubled the amount of Denim paint 

and in the third one I tripled the amount of Denim paint I used in the first cup.

I then mixed the paint in each cup well making sure I had a good ombre set of color.

Then I poured some of cup number 1 in one vase 

and rolled it around until it covered the entire inside of the vase.

Then I poured out the excess in the cup 

and 

turned the vase upside down in another cup and let it drip for a while.

I repeated the steps with the other two vases using the second cup for the 

second vase and the third cup of mixed paint for the third vase.

I then let them dry overnight 

and 

this is the result 

I think they are so pretty and fit right in with my beachy decor.

But the best part is they 

only cost me $1.50 and a little time...

Thinking that this is a project I may be repeating...

Do you think this is something you would like to try?

Until next time have a great day 

and 

get out there and create something you love....
