Makeover your stash of clear glass vases with this easy gold leaf and confetti paint project!
It was a rainy afternoon and I needed some color so I started painting a bag of flower vases that were destined for a thrift store.

Watch how I made them here.
This could be done with several shades of just one color......Also, the Thermoweb Deco Foil (gold leaf) comes in tons of different metallic shades.
I used Americana Gloss Enamels for glass. I didn't bake these (which you can do to make the paint dishwasher safe) but I did add a coat of varnish to them when they were done.

Since I don't want to go and purchase enamel paints, I am wondering if this could work if I spray paint my glass vases with Rustoleum white paint as a base and then use acrylic paint for my design. Just a thought.
