Vases, Vases, EVERYWHERE!

I had the best crafting time with my friend Chris and we painted some vases and I got paint everywhere...Including in her pantry door somehow! 

Here was our inspiration:

So I gathered all the supplies, 1 vase from the dollar store, and then 2 that I found in the garage of someone whom I was dog/house sitting for and she was going to thrown away (gasp)
The vase is the only thing in this image that I actually used btw...

We didn't use any of the product listed in the inspiration post from Pinterest. 
That might have been our first mistake. 

In this project I learned patience. I was trying to shake mine to make the paint drip faster. Yeah, that didn't work out so great. Thank you Chris for teaching me this lesson! :) 

You put paint in the bottom of the vase and turn it around so that it goes to all sides and then leave it upside down to drip. We had to add extra paint and one small bottle of acrylic paint isn't the best to use as it's not always enough.
 
And here are the finished products! 
The red one is NOT painted, but I obtained that as I tried to do the farther left one red, 
and it didn't turn out so well! 

 Here is the Yellow

The Blue! 


And I came home and hated the way the red one so I used soft soap and some water and washed it all away and then I attempted it again so I did the final blue one!
Here it is dripping away! 


So if you have a spare vase, please feel free to give it to Chris or I..I think we are addicted now!
