re-fashioned floral vases showcase succulents in a modern tablescape

TOOLS AND MATERIALS

Design Master Sprays - Modern Metals Black Chrome – 3 sq glass vases (a stock floral item often found at the flea market), 3 - 3” succulents, 1 small bag soil, 1 small bag natural pebbles, painter's tape, newspaper

TECHNIQUE

1. Protect area from overspray with newspaper.
2. Ensure vases are clean. Mask the top third of vase with masking tape.
3. Invert vase on protected area. Approximately 12" from the surface, spray the vase with Black Chrome in parallel, back and forth strokes. Apply 1 light coat which will appear translucent. Let dry. Apply a second coat. When dry, remove the masking tape.
4. Plant succulents in vase with the soil line below the paint line. Top dress with small natural pebbles.

Project Tip: For ease of application, set the vases on a plastic turntable and rotate while spraying. Modern Metals produces a scratch-resistant durable finish on hard surfaces, including glassware!
