Ingredients
- Three different-sized vases from the Dollar Store
- Dishwasher-safe PermEnamel paint in Mediterranean Blue and White (or whatever color you prefer)
- PermEnamel Surface Conditioner from Michaels Arts and Crafts store
- Paper towels
- Paintbrush
- Mixing bowl
Instructions
- Clean the vases with hot, soapy water.
- When they are completely dry, pour some surface conditioner in and cover the inside of the vase. Pour out the excess and let the vase dry.
- Get the exact color you envision by mixing your PermEnamel paints in a mixing bowl, then pour inside the vase.
- Paint the inside of the glass using a paintbrush to cover the inside surface.
- Once the vase is painted, lay it on a paper towel to let the thick paint drip off. You will be amazed at how much comes out! The longer it’s upside down, the thinner the coating will be. I liked the thicker look so I only kept it upside down only for a few minutes.
- Turn the vase back over and touch up the drips inside. Every fifteen minutes you can even out the thickness on the bottom of the vase as the paint will start to collect.
- Let these dry overnight and in the morning you should have a beautiful decor vase!
Notes
Remember these beautiful enamel-painted vases are only for DECOR. Don’t drink out of them! You can put water in them, but it may damage the finish eventually. I’m simply sitting them on the shelf, like the photos to the right
