I am easily one of the least creative people in the entire
world. I always have some big idea and
then never have the means to actually do it…or the patience. Like a pretty large majority of the
population, I have fallen victim to Pinterestitis-the belief that I can be
crafty and make something wonderful out of a paper cup, some thread, and a
little homemade Mod Podge! Not really,
but I was feeling “inspired” the other day and saw about 10 random vases just
sitting in our house. They are currently
serving no purpose and we are trying to redecorate our bedroom so I figured
they would be perfect on our shelves, which are also being refinished, but that
project isn’t going quite so well J. Anyways, this is super easy for anyone! I bought three different acrylic paint
bottles from Hobby Lobby that coordinated with my bedding. I squeezed 6 big globs (2 of each color but
make sure you alternate them) right in the bottom of a vase. When I flipped it over, I started to slowly
turn the vase to give it a slight swirl effect and then just turned it upside
down onto a piece of cardboard overnight.
Super easy and quick! The next
morning, I had my own “artistic” pieces to put on the shelves. I did each one a little different and even
finished one off that had a lot of bare glass by spraying metallic gold spray
paint inside of it. So while I may not
be creating any masterpieces anytime soon, I am pretty pleased with my cheap,
fun, easy, pizzazzed vases. Also, sorry
about the low-quality pictures…Maybe I will have better ones when I get the
shelves done and put the vases up J
