Carafe vases are a nice shape and perfect for arrangements of Christmas lillies and berries.
My clear glass carafe vase needed a bit of oomph for Christmas,
so out came the white paint.
All I did was pour a little paint inside and slowly swirled it around the vase until the inside was completely coated.
The paint I used was Dulux Aquanamel in white,
because it is water resistant, and a lovely thick paint.
This makes the coating of the glass exceptionally easy.
It took 5 minutes from start to finish for this glass painting project.
As I have already shared, here in New Zealand it is summer.
Which means no winter berries!
At the moment I have one Ilex 'Holly' shrub in berry,
So what does one do when one must have red berries?
Get out the spray paint of course!
Before painting I stripped the leaves off the stems.
then spray painted them.
After 24 hours drying and fume release time,
place into the vase.
I haven't put water into the vase.
as the spray paint seals the berries with a thick coating of paint, and preserves them.
Red berries and a white vase to match the Christmas themed cushions.
Place vase on a coffee table, mantel or sideboard,
for a little bit of berry red and white fun.
