Take your old vase and clean the surface using a cloth and hot soapy water, make sure the vase is properly dry before you start.

If you are spraying indoors ensure you open a window and place plenty of newspaper underneath and around the vase to protect the surrounding area.

Start by applying the Matt Super Black, this will eventually be the colour of your design, two or three coats is always better than one thick coat. Always try to spray across the vase in steady, even strokes and allow about 5 minutes between coats.

Now you can create your flower design using the sticky backed plastic, you might find it easier to draw out your design on the backing first. We've created quite a simple flower but the possibilities are endless.

Ensuring that the black paint is thoroughly dry (allow at least 40 minutes) cut out the individual petals, leaves and stalk and carefully apply them to the vase ensuring they are properly stuck down around the edges.

You are now ready to apply the Gloss Super Bright Red spray paint, again several thin coats is best leaving 5 minutes between each and spray across the vase in steady, even strokes.

Once the final coat is dry (approx 40 minutes) you can carefully remove the sticky backed plastic to reveal your design underneath.

For extra protection use Plasti-kote Super Clear Acrylic.
