thrifty finds

recently, my best friend and I went on an adventure to search for those "thrifty finds." this weekend we did many art projects. Some of my project ideas come from Pinterest. my newest obsession has been those clear, old vases with paint inside! so we went to a Habitat for Humanity Restored, and I found 3 clear vases for $1.00. 
project1:

 the three vases & paint colors I chose
I did the yellow first & basically,
 you pour and pour
 and pour some more.

 spin & shake

 spin & shake



 until the vase is completely covered in your chosen color.

next is green, repeat steps above





green completed
 last I did a peach/coral color & repeat above steps



 peach/coral complete
turn the vases upside down so all the excess paint can drip out into the sink. after setting them there for about an hour, we moved them to a piece of cardboard so the vases could dry better. 

project2:
my next thrifty find, an OLD WINDOW! I've seen so many projects of old, painted windows but never knew where to get them. found a big 6 paned window for $7.50. SO EXCITED. 
 the paint colors
 my thrifty find before
& my thrifty find after. the completed window masterpiece with dots & brush marks in all different colors! LOVE!
