Idea I love...

I have been looking for vases to adorn

my new dresser... 

and I have found a few.. 

but why buy them when you can make them.. 

I saw this today... 

on Sugar and Charm..

and it is my new project.. 

and so much cheaper.. 

enamel-painted vases...

(and i adore this color!)

I'm kinda so excited to try this!

DIY Christmas Vases..

So.. 

I have completed one of the ideas

that I was inspired to do after 

reading BHG.. 

So exciting..

In the magazine..

they showed a frosted vase that was

made by spray painting the inside of the vase

I couldn't find the frost spray paint..

but I found this brushed metallic spray.. 

and I was quite pleased actually.. 

The spray was the most expensive part actually.. 

I think that it was eight bucks.. 

but I used a coupon.. 

so it was a bit less.. 

and the vases were from the Dollar Tree.. 

left over from our last party.. 

 Pretty nice I thought.. 

and it really only took about five minutes.. 

and then dry time.. 

So I did three more!

It took a while to figure it out just right.. 

so there were a few runny spots.. 

but you just turn those sides to the back!

And ta-da.. 

here's some of my DIY Christmas Decor..

I got carried away and spray painted some branches too!

Turned out to be a fun little Christmas Branch Tree.. 

Dangling with sparkly ornaments 

from the dollar section of Target.. 

not too shabby!

Happy Crafting!
