While gathering things for my yardsale - I ran across several vases that had accumulated under the kitchen sink. A couple were unusual enough that I thought would sell "as is" but I found this one that was your typical plain jane style - just clear glass. I thought to myself - no one is going to buy this - and just started to stuff it back in its place - then thought why not spiff it up?
So...I spray painted it aqua and white and then just took a few colors of the bottled fabric paint and made some squigglies - (that is a technical term, you know) and tied some matching tulle around the neck. Now I kind of like it. I am still going to put it in my yardsale - if it sells - great - if not - I have a new and improved vase that will match the decor in my sewing/craft room.
The fabric paint you're referring to : is that the puffy kind ? I love what you did here and I have something similar which I do not use a lot as it looks so "boring"

Actually it is just regular fabric paint and that is how it dried. It does look like puffy paint.
