Painted Vase!

I've been so busy with other stuff I haven't DIY in a while. So I decided last night I was going to do something today!  I have been wanting these vases from Cracker Barrel forever because they would go so good in my bedroom, but I refused to spend $30 dollars per vase.  I had seen on pinterest that you can actually paint your own cheap vases I decided to give it a try!  Man I'm so excited I did. The first one I did turned out GREAT!  Here's how I did it.

This is my finished product!  Not to shabby for someone who isn't all that creative.
First thing you do is clean out the vase.  Then just has a little paint and start twirling making sure the paint is covering all parts of the glass.  Once you have the first color started add a little of the second color.  Keep twisting and the colors will swirl together.  It does take patience which if you anything like me is hard.  I added more paint then needed.  What I should have done was just be patient and wait for the paint to move.  I ended up with a lot of excess paint on my tin foil lol.  Once the entire vase is covered leave it upside down until dry.  I moved mine often so the it wouldn't stick to the tin foil while drying. 

 This is during the drying phase!  I love how the colors have  swirled together.

This is the paint I used for it.  I know a lot of people use the enamel paint and not acrylic but acrylic worked great for me! I can't wait to do the other two I bought and display them on my dresser.  All together for paint and the vase I spent $3.51. Happy Painting!
