Metallic Vase

     Turn a thrift store glass vase into a shiny centerpiece with a little spray paint.  For instructions on how to make the paper roses, see this post.

Materials:
*Vase
*Krylon Looking Glass spray paint

Directions:
*Find an old vase in need of a makeover or pick up a cheap one from a thrift store or a yard sale.  I got this one from Goodwill for $1.
*Choose a work space in a well ventilated area and cover your workstation with newspaper.

*Spray the outside of your vase, following the directions on the spray paint bottle.  If you want a more mirror-like finish, you could try painting the inside instead of the outside, although that would probably work best for a less curvy, wide necked vase.
*You'll need to apply multiple coats to get the metallic appearance.  However, some of the more transparent stages can be really neat looking too.  I wanted mine solid colored so the floral wire "stems" would be less visible, but if you don't mind translucence, you can always do a couple of coats instead of five.  You'll end up with something kind of like this:
