I’m changing the colors in my dinning room Christmas decorating this year. I know I’ve told you this before but I’m over the moon in love with All Things Teal!
In years past, I decorated with brilliant red and I liked it a lot but I’m moving into tranquil hues of teal, adding a splash of icy accent and some pink for that room this Christmas.
Soooo, I’ve been looking for new stuff…cheap. I have several clear hurricanes that bore me beyond words. I saw this idea in this little jewel of a book…Creating Your Perfect Christmas…(as if!)
You need these things: *your glass, *stencil adhesive spray, *a piece of lace (really cheap if you buy just a little bitty bit!)*SPRAY PAINT! My all time favorite DIY tool, I used Satin Nickel, *And although you don’t need it, I picked up some Martha Stewart super fine glitter to sprinkle on the finished product!

Spray your glass with the Stencil Adhesive and lay the lace on carefully patting it into place.(Mine didn’t lay perfectly flat…see the gaps? That’s okay!)
Spray paint the darn thing.
Carefully lift the lace off and while it’s still wet with the paint, get your glitter on! Sprinkle till your tiny heart’s content!


I did three and they will not look this boring on my Holiday table, I can promise you that…But they have an icy effect don’t they? Just what I was going for!


And while I was at it….I spray painted and glittered my 3 glass candle holders! If I have a can of spray paint … nothing is safe!

Barbara Jean~The lace didn’t go on flush,it would look a little sloppy to leave it on. At least the way I did it!!!
