DIY Hobnail Milk Glass Vase

The Dollar Tree has a ton of glass vases and bowls that could easily be turned into a DIY hobnail milk glass vase. More information and details on the blog.

This fun simple DIY will have people glancing twice at your not so “milk glass” vase.

Grab Your Materials and let's get started. Clean off glass with warm soap & water (remove any stickers)


To start you will want to pull apart individual pearl stickers and remove clear adhesive that connects each one. You will have to cut them, in retrospect I would have just used the pearls from the craft section at Michaels that are already separated. But this was a way cheaper option.

Take your super glue and dab a dot of glue in a triangle pattern around the complete vase. If you are going for a traditional hobnail look you will do this over and over until you complete the entire vase.

Place the pearls on the glue dots. Press firmly and make sure they are completely dry before moving on to the next step.

I chose to use white spray paint for the vase. You could also use chalk paint. Let it dry on one side or stand up to paint entire outside and inside then once that is dry you can spray the bottom.

How cute is this? It truly looks like a milk glass hobnail vase at first glance for sure. I want to try this in the spring and make some different colored vases.

    Hello , I love this idea and was wondering if the "pearls" are sticky ones. Why do you have to glue them on as well ? Would the painting not ensure that they would stick ?
