I chose some basic acrylic paints, in the colours of her bedroom.
After cleaning and thoroughly drying the vase, I simply dumped some of each paint colour into the bottom of the vase. Next time, I would be more careful to not drip the paint down the side of the vase!
Then, I simply swirled and tipped the vase until it was completely covered and left it upside down for a few hours to dry.
The paint swirls together nicely to create a marble effect. I had to add more paint as I went, which altered the look, blending the colours almost too closely. I think I would choose colours that were less similar next time, in order to create more contrast. Overall, I was happy with the finished product! Happy Birthday Jenn!


Love it!

thank you for sharing.
uhh..one more thing...since this is a vase...with water and all...didn't the paint on the inside wash off?
