INSTRUCTIONS
NOTES:
Try different patterns or amounts of color for fun and colorful variations. Smooth surfaces work best.
- Thoroughly wipe down the glass bottles or jars with rubbing alcohol and a paper towel.
- Lightly mist the clean vase with water. (Not so that it is dripping, but enough to make the surface damp.)
- Generously paint the vase in sections: Begin with Cotton Ball. Next, with Sky Blue and Leprechaun.
- Lay plastic wrap over the vase while the paint is still wet, folding in the sides so the entire surface is covered.
- Push the paint around the surface of the vase by squeezing the plastic wrap and moving it around.
- Carefully unwrap the vase and remove the plastic wrap. Allow to dry completely. (Follow these steps for the other two vases in colors of your choice.)
