DIY Faux Brick Flower Vase

Since Iām on a home accessory kick from decorating the built in desk of our dreams, I decided to spruce up a plain glass vase that we had laying around our house. This project was so easy and literally took like an hourā¦ and I love it!
I started by cleaning the plain glass vase with Windex. (Such a great action shot)
My husband had the idea to use Pinstripe Tape (like, for a car!) instead of cutting down masking tape into narrow strips. Since not having to cut and measure masking tape sounded AMAZING, I went to Auto Zone. I bought a roll of 1/8ā³ wide Pinstripe Tape for $2.99. Canāt beat it!
I measured out 1ā³ wide rows and marked them with a dry erase marker. I stuck the pinstripe tape on the glass, lining it up with my dry erase marks. Then I measured 3ā³ wide ābricksā and marked those with my dry erase marker. Then stuck the pinstripe tape on to the glass going vertical to make my ābricksā.
This is how it looked when I was done taping. Iām liking it already!
Then I spray painted the vase white. I lined the vase with paper so I didnāt get any spray paint on the inside.
I removed the tape andā¦ ta da! Iāve got some faux bricks on my vase.
I put in some fake flowers (of course, my brown thumb) and called it a day! The tape took a little paint off the edges when I pulled it off, making the edges not so perfect, but I actually donāt mind it. I think it kind of gives the vase a āweatheredā look, and adds character. Other than that, the pinstripe tape worked really well!
Enjoyed the project?

Have a question about this project?
I love the idea and look. Could you paint the vase white and then put on the pinstripe tape and leave it since it is the pinstripe used on cars.
