The easiest way is to pour paint inside and roll the vase around until it’s covered up the sides with paint. Though this way it’s purely decorative and not terribly useful for holding liquids.

There are various ways of painting vases. To use the vases for live flowers with water, you'd want to paiint the exterior. That can be done with spray paint or with a sponge or brush. You can use masking tape to make designs for the outside painting. As was mentioned in another post, you can pour paint inside as well if you're not going to use the vase for real flowers.

Use spray paint!
Hi! If you paint the outside of the vase, you can use anything from fingernail polish to spray paint! Lots of options!
If you want to use the vases, you can only paint the outside. I used Krylon spray paint and then sealed it with Lacquer. Worked great.
Thank you!
There's a lot of options available and I would recommend using spray paint.
