Materials

  • Bottles and jars, washed
  • Bucket
  • Oli-based or enamel paints
  • Newspaper or plastic dropsheet
  • Paintbrush or medium-nap roller
  • Sealer undercoat paint
  • Chalkboard paint or chalk
Take old jars and bottles and create fun, colourful homemade vases - just using paint!

Step 1.

Soak clean bottles and jars overnight to remove labels easily. Let dry.

Step 2.

Pour a small amount of paint into each bottle/jar. Swirl, gradually rotating until inside is coated. They may require a second coat. Lay newspaper on floor in a well-ventilated room and cover with plastic dropsheet. Leave jars to dry, upside down on dropsheet. Peel jars off dropsheet.

Step 3.

Arrange bottles for a bright, stiking vignette. Fill with flowers or paint a chalkboard wall and create an arty illusion with chalk (as shown above).
