I have so many glass vessels (read over 100) left over from the wedding (I thrifted them and used them as votive holders)–that I decided to upcycle a few of them yesterday. I sprayed on just a light coat of mango-colored spray paint and planted a few of my hardier plants in them. I put rocks at the bottom of the glasses (since there is no drainage in these vessels). The whole project took about 15 minutes and cost me about $8.
I hope that you get a chance to get your hands in the dirt this weekend-it’s the first weekend of Spring–a marvelous time to plant some seeds and do some gardening–in tea cups or anywhere!
OK–I’m off to celebrate my birthday now. Later homies!
Love the color you picked! They look so good together all of them!
Happy birthday, Justina! Have a great one =)
I can’t believe how great they turn out with a touch of spray paint,
glass bottles beware!
Oh, Happy Birthday to you….
