DIY Sea Glass Vases
This month we bring you a project
that is a great gift for Mother’s Day
and/or to submit into the Misc.
Bazaar class in the Arts Center.
What You’ll Need:
1) small, inexpensive clear vases
2) frosted glass spray paint
3) frosted glass paint
4) foam roller or sponge
Tutorial:
1) Spray the vases with the spray
paint outside, in a ventilated area.
2) After the vases dry, squirt the
paint directly on one side.
3) Use a foam roller to spread the
paint by rocking the roller around
the entire perimeter of the vase.
4) Once all of the vases receive their
coat of frosted color, place them
into the oven to cure (bake at 350
degrees for 30 minutes).
5) Embellish however you want.
