Homemade Vase

Quick, easy and fun, gift for all.

Material

Glass Bottle(s)
White paint, coloured paint optional
Brush or sponge for applying paint
Newspaper

Method

Clean bottle, I wash then rinse in hot water to save drying with towel and avoiding lint.
Lay newspaper over surface that you are using
Apply first coat of paint (I use a brush for first and second coats) allow to dry and add second coat then allow to dry.
For final coat use a brush, sponge or any desired tool as this will be the finishing look. You can use colour if you wish. Allow to dry. I used a sponge in mine shown above.
Decorate with what you wish and add your choice of flower or plant. Enjoy!

Notes

I like to make these with the kids! It is fun and makes a really nice feature to your home and a perfect gift for a loved one.

I have a couple of bottles laying around, from a failed home made wine project, that would be perfect for this

  Grouping vases full of flowers together does indeed look good.
