It’s springtime and I have this urge to brighten the house up. But of course, we have to stick to a deposit. I found some little glass vases at the Dollar Store and went to the hardware store for some glass-friendly spray paint for under $4. The colors in my kitchen are muted turquoises, avocado green and a gold-like mustard. What it needed was some brightening up!
I kind of had a dual purpose to this experiment. I have a big 10th anniversary party coming up in the middle of next month. If they turn out, these will be such easy and inexpensive centerpieces!
I started with a number of different glass jars, from the Dollar Store to marinara and peanut butter jars with their labels scraped off and cleaned with Goo Gone.
I used Rust-oleum’s Painter’s Touch Lagoon in Satin and sprayed just about everything I could find!
It was super easy. I sprayed the bottom side first and tried to get as much of the sides as possible. I sat them out in the sun and they were dry to the touch in just a half hour. I then flipped them over and sprayed again, covering the top part and the sides if I missed any sections. Just two coats and they dried completely within an hour.
I absolutely love the new addition to the kitchen windowsill. It’s perfect for all of our new cut spring flowers.
Love it! Great idea for a craft. So pretty!!
Wow! That is gorgeous!! I LOVE it!!! 🙂
Great idea, they look gorgeous!
beautiful!!! what a great idea i have a bunch of jars i have no idea what to do with this is great!
Love that you chose satin finish and not glossy. It looks really pretty. Funny thing is I never thought of spray painting containers from a store , but always do when I buy them at garage sales. I love the new formulas Rustoleum came up with and all their bright colors too.
what a great idea and very inexpensive. they came out so nice. i will have to try this out.
such a great idea. I love it
I love that, what a great way to freshen up the look. I might need to try this, because I need some pretty vases.
Those vases turned out so cute, I never would have thought to do that. I want to make some!
Love your creativity! I want to try something like this too!
I’ve really wanted to try this! I need to remember not to throw the bottles into the recylables and/or trash!
So cute!! I love spray paint, it can refresh anything.
I like this! I have so many jars and bottles and I can use for this project.
What a great idea. I just bought some really pretty spray paint too! I am painting the frame of my daughters mirror ‘watermelon pink’, and I have a bunch of vases and jars that I could spray up for her to use in her room as well. Thanks 🙂
What a neat idea. I love how you can totally change the look of these with some spray paint. I have a bunch of old vases I will have to try it with. Thanks!
Looks so pretty! Great idea!
I would love to know how long it last or if it scratches easily? I would love to do this but I would want to use them often and wondered if they last well? Love the color you picked!
Love the color. I’ve also done this with lamp bases and light switch plates 🙂
What a great idea to bring some new life to old vases. I know I have a couple I could spruce up.
Wow, they look great. I never thought of doing this. I have vases that I can do this to. Thanks for sharing this.
I guess I’ll be buying some spray paint this weekend. 🙂

i love this what a great way to spend time with your kids having fun and making memories
I love doing things like this! Will have to try this!
Great ideas I love these! 🙂
Such a wonderful idea and very frugal, using the same color paint. They look very pretty and impressive, especially in a grouping 🙂
Wow that looks really easy. What a great inexpensive way to decorate a room. Going to do this for our new house.
How cute! I need to check out The Dollar Store for fall crafts – I haven’t been there in ages , yet I’m a bargain hunter.
Looks so nice! I like the color
What a beautiful idea! I have several vases lying around. I’ll have to try this for sure 🙂
I’ve been saving many glass jars from candles once they are used up – this is a wonderful idea!!!!
