This DIY takes me back to when I first started DIY-ing. \u00a0My favorite thing to do, and still what I consider the most gratifying type of DIY, was to take something old and make it new. \u00a0In most cases, all it would take is a fresh paint job. \u00a0It still gets me how some spray paint is enough to give life back to things that would otherwise go unloved, and I’ve partnered with Rust-Oleum\u00a0to do exactly that with a couple of forgotten pieces I dug out of the storage closet.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
A long time ago, I grabbed these galvanized tin containers at the end of a wedding when the decor was a free-for-all and they’ve been sitting in our storage closet since. \u00a0My plan from the beginning was to paint them, but you know how things go. \u00a0It never happened, and I simply forgot about them. \u00a0Had Rust-Oleum not challenged me to find\u00a0an old metal item and make it beautiful again, these would’ve probably never left the closet until we moved out.<\/p>\n

Maybe you already know, but Rust-Oleum and I go way back. \u00a0I’ve loved and used their spray paints from the beginning and have consistently found that they have the best metallics. \u00a0There was a time when all I’d do was paint everything gold, but when I tried the copper it became\u00a0the new color I’d paint everything with. \u00a0No different this time, we’re going with copper!<\/p>\n

I cleaned off the outside of the tins and made sure there was no debris on them before I started painting. \u00a0Using the Rust-Oleum Universal Bonding Primer<\/a>, I applied two coats with a one minute wait in between.<\/p>\n Once the primer completely dried, I applied two coats of\u00a0the Rust-Oleum Stops Rust Copper Metallic Spray Paint<\/a>. \u00a0The nozzle on these cans is stellar. \u00a0It sprays a fine mist that makes it hard to over-spray and make a drippy mess but still sprays enough to get good, even coverage. \u00a0I kept the nozzle pressed down as I moved left and right from the top down to cover each side of the container.<\/p>\n It’s that easy for a complete transformation! \u00a0I let them dry overnight before putting in some flowers.<\/p>\n The vases are a little wider than I’d prefer for everyday use but they’re great for larger arrangements and perfect for celebrations. \u00a0I’d for sure\u00a0love putting these in the center of our dining table.<\/p>\n Got anything old that you can make new again? \u00a0Each month Rust-Oleum will give away a prize box filled with new Stops Rust colors and finishes and a $100 gift card to one person who shares their Stops Rust project using #inwiththeold and #stopsrust on Instagram or Twitter. \u00a0Make sure you’re following Rust-Oleum on social so they can contact you. \u00a0Each post is an entry so the more\u00a0projects you have, the better! \u00a0More info on the contest and rules at\u00a0stopsrust.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n This post is sponsored by Rust-Oleum.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" This DIY takes me back to when I first started DIY-ing. \u00a0My favorite thing to do, and still what I consider the most gratifying type of DIY, was to take something old and make it new. \u00a0In most cases, all it would take is a fresh paint job. \u00a0It still gets me how some spray … Continue reading “DIY Copper Vases”<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":16946,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"wprm-recipe-roundup-name":"","wprm-recipe-roundup-description":"","_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_uf_show_specific_survey":0,"_uf_disable_surveys":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[36,58,33,357,349,51],"class_list":["post-16941","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-diy","tag-copper","tag-decor","tag-flowers","tag-home","tag-metal","tag-paint"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.homeyohmy.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16941","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.homeyohmy.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.homeyohmy.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.homeyohmy.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.homeyohmy.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=16941"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/www.homeyohmy.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16941\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":16966,"href":"https:\/\/www.homeyohmy.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16941\/revisions\/16966"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.homeyohmy.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/16946"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.homeyohmy.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=16941"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.homeyohmy.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=16941"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.homeyohmy.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=16941"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![\"\"](\"http:\/\/www.homeyohmy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/spray-paint.jpg\")
