Cute Home Made Glass Vase

Have you ever craved something weird? like say....a color?? yes you read that right, a color. Yellow to be exact. I think the heat got to my head because today all I wanted to eat was something "Yellow". I know, it sounds a little off but, "the more yellow the better!", I explained to my confused and worried husband. And I'm not anywhere near pregnant (I know that's what you were thinking!!!! don't pretend like you weren't ; ). I have yet to find something yellow to eat today. On the otherhand, it could be a good diet. When my body automatically gets up in the middle of the night, like a robot.....and goes directly to the fridge, I'm going to tell myself, "I want to eat something polka-dotted!". I'll let you know if it works!


My craft for today is a project where you can use those cute glass bottles you get when you buy specialty drinks like the small green Perrier bottles.


Here's what it will look like when finished:

Here's what you'll need: glass bottles, acrylic paint, painter's tape (different widths), a paper punch(I used a flower)

Removable Adhesive (can find at Michael's or office supply store)

Hole punch or you can freehand a design with a pair of scissors and a large width painter's tape

First, take your paper punch and punch out your decorations, I chose a flower. Use your Removable Adhesive and apply it to your decoration. Apply this to a clean and dry glass bottle. Use Painter's tape to block off areas you don't want to color.

Next, paint on the acrylic paint with a brush

When the paint is dry, carefully remove the paper decoration and the Painter's Tape.


Next, take your wide strip of Painter's Tape and tape it to your clothing and remove, do this several times. This will make it less sticky so you can insert it in your paper punch easily and it will not stick to it. Punch out holes with your paper punch and apply it to the bottle.

Apply paint inside the holes:

Let dry and peel off the tape, place some pretty silk flowers and wah-lah! a pretty little vase you made yourself!
