Snot and Spray Paint...


Did you know you can spray paint glass?

Neither did I.

Take two large, have sat in a closet for 9 years because they were used at my wedding, glass vases (URNS really) :


(Whoa, whoa, we're tilting, we're tilting!!!)

And spray paint the snot out of them:


(we're still feeling a bit off kilter!!!)

Ok, there really wasn't ACTUAL SNOT in, on, or around them, but we are a living in snot-land and I feel the need to interject that word as much as I can.

Don't they look MUCH better painted? It took quite a few coats to get every ridge and crease covered...that and the wind blew away 67.4% of my spray paint. Now the neighbors' house has a lovely shade of dark leather brown on one side to match the changing leaves. You are welcome.

Throw some "borrowed" from the parents curly willow tree sticks in, plop it in a corner and call it a day:



Voila. Easy peasy nice and cheesy.

SNOT. Whoops. Sorry about that.

  9. Dumb question: Did you spray paint the inside or outside of the vase?

  10. Very cool project! I've frosted glass before, but never tried a color. Great job! It definitely looks better. :) I like the twigs too. Hope the snot stuff goes away soon...I hate it when my kids are snotty!!! Thanks for the visit. :)
