Make a beautiful vase just in
time for spring.

What You Need:
  • Glass candleholders or bud vases
  • Deco Color paint pens in desired colors and widths (available at art and crafts stores)
  • Paint thinner, if desired


Be creative when painting,
and remember that mistakes
are easy to fix.
Instructions:

1. Wash the glassware in hot soapy water. Allow to dry thoroughly.

2. Working in a well-ventilated room, begin to decorate the candleholders or bud vase.

3. Apply one color at a time and allow it to dry before adding other colors.

4. Use paint thinner to remove any mistakes you have made.


More Ideas:
  • Revive an old candy jar using these user-friendly pens.
  • To make a plaid design, first draw some horizontal stripes, then vertical stripes, then more horizontal stripes. Allow the paint to dry between coats.
