Happy April friends! I know y’all have been curious about the proposal since the announcement so today is the day!

Time: 10 minutes
Materials: glass bottles, spray paint
It’s no secret that I have a mild obsession with spray painting glass (see here and here). These ombre milk bottles would make great table vases for your next party or gathering this summer and only take a few minutes to make. Perfect for last minute decor!
All you need to do is place your bottle upside down and spray paint the very bottom. The paint will trickle up the sides giving you an ombre effect. You can see my 10 minute vase if you need further instructions!
