How To Make: Things Look Bad-A** with Frosted Glass Spray

I was standing in Goodwill last Thursday and saw this little vase that was frosted glass. I picked it up, held it, rubbed the sides {it's like velvet and I have to touch everything} and then it went into my basket.

When I got home I set it on my craft table and noticed how the light was so beautifully making this little vase almost glow. And then it hit me! I turned around in my chair and had that "AH HA!" moment for a old table that my husband bought before we got married.

This table was a black night stand. Had two tiers to it with this horrible textured beveled glass that I felt like I could never quite get clean.

I was so excited that I forgot to take a before picture. But here's half of it.

See it in all of it's dated 1994 darkness there to the left?

I haven't revealed my craft room yet, but as you can imagine it's fun and light and totally girly. This, is not so much girly.

So here's what we're gonna do, we're going to frost the glass. We're going to do it with a doilie.

Yes, I love them! Just like all of my other old lady loves {ie birds, Frank Sinatra, crossword puzzles}.

I measured the opening where the glass is supposed to go and headed to Lowe's. For under ten bucks they cut two 15 x 15 pieces of glass for me. I used paper doilies, but I am sure you can use pretty much whatever you want. I looked for crocheted ones, but couldn't bare ruining them. I tracked down some frosted glass spray at Hobby Lobby for a few bucks and got to work.

The concrete on my porch is not this dirty usually, I promise. Muddy puppy paws.

By now you should have a can of spray adhesive, I have three actually. Anyway, using your '80's Aquanet spray technique, lightly spray the back of the doilie and stick it on the glass. I chose the center but maybe off center would be cute too {you could set a teacup and saucer on it, I dunno.)

Make sure you give it a firm pressing. Get around the detailing near the edges and make sure they're sticking.
Using your frosted glass spray, make sweeping motions over the glass. Do not point blank! This isn't like paint. You'll get the hang of it once you do a few sprays.

Let these puppies dry for about 10 minutes before you peel the doilies off. You don't want to smudge this stuff. **

**Quick question. Have you ever made or redone something and when it's finished it is the cutest thing you have ever seen? I actually yelled "OH MY GOD THIS IS SO CUTE" then made my husband come upstairs to see. Of course he doesn't care about this but humored me anyway.

TA-DA!

OH MY GOD THIS IS SO CUTE

I sort of went bonkers with the frosting spray. I'll post another little project later where I used some stencils and this great spray.

What do you think? Am I bias because I made it or is this thing a keeper?
