My girlfriend posted on her blog a GREAT IDEA to take old clear glass flower vases and spray paint them. I just bought this new dresser for my hallway and needed something to decorate it with so I decided to try out her idea and see what I could come up with. Went to the Thrift store and found this large vase that I thought would be perfect. After an hour of looking at spray paints the boys convinced me purple was what we needed to go for. (I do not exagerate when I say that I spent a LONG time looking at spray paint- there was a guy that came up to me and asked me "if I was still looking" -nice huh)Here are my photos- I totally forgot to take a picture before I started but I got one right after my first spray. The flowers came from Kelsi's wedding.
Craft Number Two:
The same crafty girlfriend had another fab. idea that I just had to try. Pringle can bracelets!! You take an empty Pringle can cut it into 1-2 inch strips. Then paper mache them to add strength. Cover with fabric or ribbon- or whatever the heck you want to! Here are what I came up with- the blue and yellow were the ones she made. So much fun! Thanks Erin for all the Great Ideas!!!
