Turn any old vase or jar into a beautiful work of art by just doodling on it with t-shirt puffy paint and spray painting it white. I found my vase at Goodwill and the rest of the supplies for less than $10.00 total. ( I adapted this project from P.S. I Made This)

You Will Need (3 things)

  • 1 can of white Spray Paint
  • 1 bottle of white Puffy Paint
  • 1 Old Vase

Steps (5 steps, 1440 minutes)

  1. 1

    Find yourself an old vase that you can paint on. I found mine at Goodwill for only $5.

    Clean it making sure that there are no sticker or dirt on the out side.

  2. 2

    Decide what type of pattern you would like to use for the design. It could be dots, stripes, circles or anything you want.

    I wanted to do something a little challenging, so I found paisley prints and henna designs for mine.

  3. 3

    Draw out your design with a permanent marker on the vase. When you are happy with your design, go back and trace the marker with the puffy paint. (Get ready for hand cramps)

    Let this dry for about 2 hours.

  4. 4

    Once your puffy paint is completely dry, you can now spray paint it. Use a matte pure white spray paint holding the can about 6-10 inches from the vase. This will insure no running or dripping.

    You may have to do two coats. Let paint dry over night.

  5. 5

    Marvel at your new vase!! BEE-U-TI-FUL!

    Take pictures and show it off to the friends and family that love to drop tons of money on home decor.

    "Ha! I made this awesome vase for less than $10!"
