Today I wanted to share an incredibly simple and cheap project that I’ve been meaning to do for quite some time – A Rubber Band Spray Painted Vase. Golf claps, please.
I’m sure you’ve seen this project on Pinterest – possibly here, here or even here. All you need is a glass vase, some rubber bands and a can of spray paint. I already had all these items on hand which meant this project was Freeeeee!
As you can see – you just wrap the rubber bands around the vase as seen above. You can straighten them out and make them flat if you want it to be absolutely perfect. I did no such thing. (Guys, I had 2.5 seconds to do this and to be honest, the imperfections haven’t bother me, in fact I like it that much more!)
I ventured outside and sprayed on one coat of spray paint and DONE!
Easy.
Then, I had to decide where I was going to put the vase. Welp, my fireplace mantel has been looking a wee-bit lonesome since Christmas, so the vase found a perfect home up on the mantel, next to my Hobby Lobby mirror.
I threw in some twigs from my front yard and BOOM! Free again and done.
What do you think? It always amazes me at how much of a difference a little paint can make.
What are you working on out there? Any favorite free projects? Do tell!

Looks so cool! This is one I've had pinned in my "gonna try" board, but haven't gotten to it yet. Maybe I will now! 🙂
Oh my goodness, this is brilliant!! And I will be doing one ASAP! :o) I can't believe I've never stumbled upon it on Pinterest… It looks great!
I will have to give this a try!
Sorry rubber bands..
Yay! That makes me happy!
Thanks, Lindsay. I can't wait to see yours!
