One of the inspiration blogs that I follow regularly, Ruffled Blog, had a DIY contest and I
loved looking over every single entry. One of my personal favorites was DIY faux milk glass vases submitted by Marry You Me.
DIY is at it's best when it can save you money AND time while adding a personal touch that enhances your event. I am always scouring thrift stores and antique flea markets looking for a special treasure; and what better way to create your own special treasure than turning a second hand clear vase into vintage milk glass with some glossy white spray paint!
See below for materials and the step-by-step tutorial.
Materials needed:
*assorted vintage glass vases
*rubbing alcohol (optional)
*brown craft paper or newspaper
*latex gloves
*white glossy spray pain (Krylon multipurpose indoor/outdoor gloss white)
Instructions:
Step 1: Use rubbing alcohol and a cotton ball or paper towel to remove any sticky residue from the vases. Wash vases with soap and dry completely.
Step 2. Lay down paper on your spraying surface in a well ventilated area. Shake spray paint for 1-2 minutes before spraying. Shake between sprays as well. Wearing gloves, work from side to side, spraying vases with spray paint. Don't get too close to the vase to avoid drips/runs.
Step 3. Rotate vases until covered, let dry a few minutes before adding a second coat.
Step 4. Let dry completely.
