My latest DIY for Project Wedding is bright and cheerful, a nice break from the bleak winter weather this last week. Making your own watercolored vases is an affordable option for a spring wedding or party. To make them, you can use any type of plain glass (thrifted or saved from recent packaging will save you money). Combine paint with water and swirl the vase around in the mixture, it creates a very pretty looking watercolor effect. Find the exact instructions and measurements here.
I am absolutely in love with the semi transparent texture and jagged edges this painting technique leaves behind. A few of the vases are currently residing on my kitchen counter filled with french tulips. Happy almost spring!

I love this! What a fun, colorful idea :)
awesome idea! i just pinned it.
Thanks Brittni, love it when I get pinned:)
I’m so happy you posted this. I was wondering if I could do this for my 40th birthday party centerpieces but hadn’t done the official “thinking” on it. It looks way easier than I thought it might be–danke!
What a great idea! It’s absolutely perfect for spring. :)
These are so great! I will keep this in mind next time I need to brighten up my home.
I LOVE these! I thought the actual water in the vases was colored at first! I’m not too crafty myself, but I think I could actually pull this one off . Thanks for sharing!
These are so beautiful and so creative. I may have to steal this idea. Love it!
This is such a great idea! I have lots of plain vases buried in a cabinet and now I know JUST what to do with them! Thanks for the fabulous tip! Xo, Erika
Lovely! Love the pretty pinks for spring.
