I discovered this crafty blog, Little Gray Fox, on Pinterest and saw these super cute vases and wanted to try this myself!
I had these cheap florist vases and I got three bottles of acrylic craft paint
I just squirted the contents of two bottles of craft paint into my smaller vase and slowly and patiently swirled the thick paint around until everything was covered. You can help it along with a paint brush; I just used my fingers. Then I drained it into my larger vase; set it upside down for a few minutes and then wiped off the rim and set it upright to dry. I then squirted the last bottle into my big vase and repeated the process; draining it upside down on paper towels.
Now I have some gorgeous vases !
Note: these are decorative vases; do not put water in them! For a dishwasher safe version of this project see this great tutorial on this fun blog, Sugar and Charm
Feel free to post links to your vase projects below; I would love to see them!
