DIY and Crafts — gradient

Mother’s day is almost here and giving flowers for the occasion is almost always a go to. But this year, why not add a little more color to the bouquet and DIY graffiti flower vases to hold the blooms? This is a project that is perfect for using up leftover cans of spray paint you have laying around and any thrift store vases. Who knew graffiti could looks so pretty?!

Lucky for me, right around the time I decided to try out resin crafting, Color Pour Resin by American Crafts came out with a new line of resin molds, colorants, and additives like sprinkles, glitter, and shell flecks. They were kind enough to send me a box of goodies to experiment with. This DIY glitter resin unicorn comb is just the latest...
