Upcycle a thrift store vase with glass paint

I picked up this little square vase for $1 at the thrift store but it needed . . . something. I used a "puffy" paint to make random square and then just filled in with glass paint. Now it adds a myriad of colors. Only problem? I was going to use it as a holder for my art markers but it's too pretty with a candle inside!

ONE OF MY FAVORITE HOBBIES IS STAIN GLASS PAINTING.BUT BECAUSE YOU CAN'T WASH IT OR USE A DAMP CLOTH TO CLEAN IT,I USUALLY USE A CLEAR SPRAY PAINT TO SEAL IT.
