DIY Ceramic pitcher

Remember I showed you this little lovely yesterday?

Well this lovely had an imperfection. See it? It's right there, by the handle. It's a crack, an evil crack. It made it impossible for me to put the Kool-aid water and vitamins and everything good for children, in it.


But not to fear, it's still a quite lovely usable vase! Pretty as a clear vase is I knew with a few coats of white it would be even LOVELIER. I was going to go with Heirloom white but instead went with just a basic bright white. #1 Because I was all out of H.W. #2 Because I thought it might look kind of like Milk glass without the details and still be uber cool. This is what you get when you spray paint glass. Sigh. Something so pretty I could cry!



She needed a little ribbon to top her off.



Wait, what's that? Oh right! It's Halloween.

There, much better.

Now for all decorative purposes a vase really isn't a vase without something in it. I remembered the centerpieces my dear friend gave me from her wedding last Oct. 4th (Happy Anniversary Melissa) and unpacked them from the basement. These pictures are horrible, please excuse-- The lighting is horrible and it's late. Anyways, Melissa please avert your eyes as I rip apart something you loved so much.


So this is what is left. The pieces are pretty short, definitely not going to fit in that vase right?

Wrong.

Don't have any Styrofoam in the house? It's okay! Use that Hobby Lobby bag you have left over. Yup, just stuff 'er in, and arrange accordingly. The berries are foam so they are as light as air which means they wont push the bag down and to me they look pretty real.




Looks like something the girls would bring inside for me. I love it. True, it would look great with real flowers in it hint hint but it works. That's what matters. Thanks for stopping by!
