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!

I hate to burst the bubble here but if I suggested that my wife take the time to do all of this…I would be used for a tree decoration! Looks nice though & glad you were able to pull it off.

I love your candle holders. You have inspired me to purchase a can of spray paint – Heaven help us. My little one is going to be thrilled to help with the glittering.
Love the lace effect and I think it will give your dining room the exact feel you want. I too am doing my dining room different this year. I decided with all the rest of the holiday being busy, stressful, and kid oriented I wanted the dining room soothing. So, white it will be with natural browns added in..can’t wait till after thanksgiving to get it going.

These are stunning!! I would never have thought that you could get that much of the lace detail showing with the spray paint. I love that you did a grouping of three of these too. Super chic project!

Hello Robin, I love your idea of a different color for Christmas. Your hurricane lamps look so gorgeous. You are on your way. I will love the pink accent. I decorated a small pink tree last year and loved it. Have fun and share your makeover.

Robin…I’ve been going to the library for the past month and checking out all the new Christmas craft books and CDs I can find. Love it! We are hoping to move to our house by the end of the month so we won’t be doing any decorating before then…and I’m usually all done the weekend after Thanksgiving. I am trying to practice patience…I want patience to be more of a part of my legacy…but it’s hard to do this time of year when everything is so busy busy. Thanks for the chance to win this book…I like the TV movie of “The Christmas Box” — what a beautiful house that lady had!

I like the idea of going to the thrift store to search out some candle sticks or vases …. I ‘m not sure I can actually spray paint that well…..
The hurricanes are lovely! I love that silvery look with the rich looking ribbon! Great job!
Great idea! Thanks for linking
Robin, I love what you did with the hurricanes and candleholders..i wish i were so talented…
Love the book you are giving away..might be just what I need to get my spirit back to where it needs to be..hope I win!

Who knew that writing an offer on a house in June would mess with plans to decorate for the holidays?!? But we’re set to close on a new house in mid-December and I suspect that the packing/unpacking and nonsense of doing it all around my three little ones will destroy and hopes of decorating here…would love to live vicariously through your dining room project though because these hurricanes are awesome!
Great decorating idea. I love the icy effect – it works for Christmas and through the winter. The book sounds like a good one to refocus on living purposefully. I enjoy lessons on leaving a legacy to our children and grandchildren.
Hmmm pondering if I am brave enough to try my hand at the glass globes. I just might be brave enough to try it…I’ll let you know.

Robin-I love it! I think even the non crafter like me might be able to do this, It doesn’t look as if there is a “wrong” way to do it! Think of the different colors of glitter you could use. Gotta get some lace

What a lovely idea. I never knew how they created this style. I was just looking at a glass jar in the shop last night and thinking how do they do this? So nice to meet you, what a great weekly event.
