Candy Corn Vases

I LOVE SPRAY PAINT!!

Yes, indeed.  Nothing seems much easier to change a thing so drastically with such a little investment than Spray Paint.

Here's a simple project that, as you can see, turned out gorgeous!  It was a little bit intimidating because it was done free hand, but you want that over spray to create that beautiful homemade look - Imperfect Perfection.

What you need:

Krylon Color Master Gloss White
Krylon Color Master Gloss Orange
Krylon Color Master Gloss Yellow

Jars (I used a quart size Mason Jar and an upcycled Starbucks Coffee Drink Bottle - they look just like old fashioned milk bottles & I love them!)

Make sure the jars/bottles are clean and dry.

Paint the entire bottle white - two light coats should do it, 14 inches away.  I always start on the bottom of a project, Krylon Color Master dries so fast (10 minutes to the touch), that I can turn the project over within minutes and finish up with the rim. Be sure to get beneath the ridges of the rims.

Then spray two light coats of the orange starting one third of the way down from the top to the bottom.

Lastly, spray two light coats of the yellow on the bottom and one third of the way down from the bottom.

Easy!  Top off with twine or raffia and fill with flowers or wild flowers.
