Easy to Create Gold & Glitter DIY Vases ♥

Easy DIY Gold & Glitter Wedding Vases


Time to Complete: 3 – 10 minutes per jar depending on number of coats

Skill Level: Very Easy

Okay, we’re on a bit of a gold and glitter blitz at the moment – and can you blame us? It’s so easy to upcycle a bunch of bottles and jars, turning them into ultra-cute vases for your wedding tables. All you need is a lick or two of this nifty gold and glitter spray paint, some newspaper to protect the surface you’re spraying on, and a bit of tape if you’re keen on creating a few fun patterns.

But these little beauties are not just totally gorgeous – they are super affordable to make because they re-use glass bottles and jars. That means you don’t have to pay for centerpieces vases. Score! Pretty much any type of bottle or jar will work – from beverage bottles to jam jars to spice containers. You can ask your friends and family to help you collect, instead of throwing them away when they’re done.  In addition, you could affix a little handwritten tag to each vase arrangement, and gift them to the ladies at your wedding as favors too. That’s taking upcycling to the next level – and we like!

Take a peek at how this gold glitter handmade wedding was filled with similar DIY ideas, and see how this bride used touches of DIY gold vases filled with candles to create a romantic, intimate ambiance at her 350 guest wedding!

We totally recommend getting your hands on this awesome gold spray paint, as it can be used for so many different aspects of your wedding – including creating this fabulous DIY gold-sprayed sea-animal escort card display which we shared with you a few weeks back.

 

EASY GOLD & GLITTER WEDDING VASES

Glitter DIY Vase Centerpieces Tutorial

Here we sprayed spice bottles and small condiment jars with three thin coats of Rust-oleum glitter paint. The glitter spray needs to dry completely between each coating or it will turn goopy and run down the sides of the vase. You can, of course, use just one coat if you’d like a translucent look. We preferred the vases to appear more opaque. To create this effect we built the color up by layering several coats. We wrapped clear tape around the top third of the longer bottle before spraying to create a pretty design. Once dry, we removed the tape, filled with water and added white roses.

Here we sprayed spice bottles and pickle jars with Rust-oleum’s gold metallic paint. We wrapped clear tape around the pickle jar before spraying to create a striped pattern, and gave both bottles two coats. Once dry, we removed the tape, filled with water, and added a mix of peach and cream garden roses, with filler greens.

MATERIALS: DIY Gold and Glitter Wedding Centerpiece Vases

  • A mix and match collection of bottles and jars
  • Rust-oleum Metallic Gold spray paint and Rust-oleum Glitter Spray Paint
  • Newspaper to spray paint the vases on, as well as some gloves to protect your hands

OPTIONAL: To create the finished styled look for your tables

  • Two to three blooms per vase. We used peach and coral garden roses, greens and white roses
  • Wood slabs to create height
  • Burlap fabric to be used as runners to table cloths

Instructions:

  1. Set bottles and jars on newspaper. It’s best to do this outside, in a well ventilated area, using gloves. Avoid spraying on a windy day 🙂
  2. If you’re creative you can create stripes or designs by wrapping the jars in tape of varying thickness to create patterns. 
  3. Spray jars with either glitter or metallic gold spray paint.  (Make sure you read and follow the usage and safety instructions on the can of paint that you have purchased.)
  4. Apply a second or third coat, as desired, allowing the paint to dry fully between coat. Please resist the temptation to just spray the glitter on thick first time round. It doesn’t work that way. 🙂
  5. When fully dry, remove tape and you’re done! Decorate with flowers of your choosing, and add a pretty name tag with twine if you’re going to gift the arrangements as wedding favors.
  6. Move onto your next project – creating these DIY gold spray painted sea animals that make awesome name or escort cards.
