Enamel-Painted Halloween Vases

September 10, 2016 By radmegan 9 Comments

09HWeenvaseallofthemradmegan
Is it the second week of September too early to decorate for Halloween? Not in our house. Especially when A.) Making Halloween decorations is as easy as painting some tins we already had lying around, and B.) Grandma had to go back home after a multi-day visit and we NEEDed Halloween decorations to pull us out of our gloomy funk.
01HWeenvasematerialsradmegan
To make these spooooOOoooky centerpiece vases for Halloween, all you need is:
– A few tins (we used an old gum ball tin, steel-cut oats, and those long skinny cookies that appear on dessert tables around this time of year)
– Testors enamel spray paint in green, white and silver
– Something to spray paint your cans on (cardboard box, newspapers, etc.)
– Testors enamel paint pens in black, white and red
– Nuts and/or bolts, quick-dry permanent glue and masking tape (If making a Frankenstein’s Monster like mine)
– Fake or real flowers
– About three days (to let the spray paint dry completely between applications)
02HWeenvasesprayradmegan
Take the tins and spray paint outside with your scrap cardboard. Spray your tins lightly and evenly and allow them to completely dry between applications.
03HWeenvasespraywpensradmegan
After two or three coats of paint have been applied and dried, gathers your enamel paint pens.
06HWeenvasezigzagradmegan 04HWeenvasecolorinradmegan
If making a Frankenstein’s monster, use a black paint pen on a green can and draw a zig-zag around the top of the can. Then fill in the sig-zag so that it is solid black.

05HWeenvaseaddfaceradmegan
Add a simple monster face (use white and red pens to add scars and eyeballs for a bit of contrast.) 08HWeenvasenutsradmegan
Glue bolts or nuts to the lower part of the monster’s “neck” and use masking tape to hold the nuts in place as they dry.
07HWeenvaseghostfaceradmegan
For a simple ghost face, all you will need is white spray paint and black paint pens! Two eyes and a mouth later, Boo! You are done!

Assemble an arrangement of flowers, feathers, bones etc and fill your spook-tacular tins for devilish decor this Halloween season.

    Everyone like homemade thing. Halloween vases is beautiful. It’s decorate our house so beautifully. And it is very cheap to make a vase. Useless tin like old gum ball tin, steel oats tin, long skinny cookies tin and spray paint color, enamel paint pens, quick dry glue, masking tape is used in to make a Halloween vases. Over all it is looking so pretty.

    Step 1 Spray your tins lightly and evenly with 2-3 coats of Testors enamel paint. Green for Frankenstein and white for the ghost. Let dry between applications.
