Being a hoarder has it’s advantages.
Example: collections sometimes make themselves.
Take these cylinder vases.
They just keep appearing.
No worries, because we have a plan for them…..and the more, the better.
Don’t have any of your own? I found this selection at our local grocery store. Pretty cheap.
And I see them in thrift stores ALL the time.
Grab a couple, in a few different sizes. You’ll want them staggered.
Ever used frog tape?
It’s a little more expensive than regular masking tape, and it has to be kept in a small Tupperware to keep the edges clean. But it does a bang-up job of keeping straight lines straight.
I ran a line of it around the top and bottom of my cylinder vase. (just make sure your vase is VERY clean and dry)
Now they just need a spritz of Rust-Oleum Frosted Glass Spray.
I think this stuff is for making privacy windows in bathrooms. It lets just enough light get through.
I did 2 coats because I want it kinda thick. (Each coat dries in about 15 minutes)
Gently peeled off the frog tape and added a candle to each one.
And here’s what we were left with…………
If you like them now….just wait ’till you see them at night.
Seriously, one of our most favoritest projects ever.
…….and unbelievable easy.
Give ’em a shot.
THE CAVENDER DIARY 
Rust-oleum Frosted Glass spray….who knew?! That is just way cool. Thanks guys!
Pretty sure Rust-oleum owes us a big thank you!
I want to “frost spray” my glass door to dvd/tv unit to hide dvds, cd’s, it is smoky glass…what do you think? I tried to use film but did not want to do the cutting, etc. I want to do something more permanent..what do you think?
I’ll bet it would work just fine. Take the doors off the unit…and spray them outside. OOhhh, and be sure to tape off everything that you don’t want frosted with blue painters tape.
!!!! I bow to your genius…
Awwww shuck, someone was bound to think of this eventually…..glad it was us.
Very cute! It’s going to hit every Wedding Pinterest board there is! 🙂
Let hope it does!
Hi! I discovered your blog just recently. I loved this idea so much I did it today! I have been using an oversized hurricane glass for spare toilet paper in the guest bath for years (Martha Stewart idea, I think?). Anyway, was getting tired of looking at toilet paper as a decoration. Used this idea, et voila, newly chic toilet paper storage. I added an extra stripe of painters tape at the top for an additional detail. Thanks for sharing!
Hi Julie, how clever! And who wants to see toilet paper as decor? Love that!

I am stealing this wonderful idea!
I would hope that you would!!! I’d love to see your own creative spin on it….
How does it hold up when washed?
Good question, Kim. I haven’t put them in the dishwasher, but have hand washed them……and the frost seems pretty permanent.

You can also put a design on them by placing a removable plastic decal on the vase before spraying . Be sure to remove it right after spraying so it doesn’t stick from the paint. These look real pretty when lit with the design showing through.
That’s a great idea, Donna
Love your idea….here’s an idea for less permanent, take any old glass vase get the window clings and attach to vase, change out the clings to match the season….same vase different designs….
