Gold Flower Vases

When sprucing up the house for a few guests, I realized I had a shortage of medium sized vases—nothing too big but something that could hold a small bunch of flowers with a little height. Just as I was tossing two coffee cans I realized they could be put to use. Enter some trusty gold chrome spray paint I recently used on this project. I gave a good coat to both of the coffee cans, let them dry, filled them with fresh pink roses and the result was exactly what I was wanting. A fun DIY for a big dinner party (or a wedding) when you need a handful of matching, pretty vases.
