Waiting for Paint to Dry...

Literally. I'm so excited about turning a boring old glass pasta container into something new. I took one of these containers I had bought at IKEA several years ago (like the one pictures, just without the writing on it) for $3 and put some fake tulips I had lying around in it. Boring. It needs something.

So, remembering a tutorial I saw somewhere (before I had jumped on the Pinterest bandwagon to mark stuff I want to try), I headed off to Google to see what I had to do. Easy-peasy!

I had some acrylic paint in my craft room from some long-forgotten project, and I squirted it into the canister. And squirted more into the canister. Then I closed the top, and shook it all around. Added more paint (it takes quite a bit of paint if you're impatient for the paint to swirl around and get the entire inside covered).

Now, it's upside-down on a piece of cardboard, drying.

And I wait. And wait. And wait. Hopefully by tomorrow, it will be dry and I can take pictures and show you the finished revamp. :)
