This great necklace is made using salvaged parts from a computer, embellished with holiday-themed crafty supplies! While this one is holiday-themed, you could rock this necklace with any variety of embellishments, and proudly state you were wearing technology!
If you’ve ever swooned over the elegant, timeless look of vintage milk glass—but not the antique store price tag—then this DIY trick is about to blow your mind. With just a few simple supplies and a little spray paint magic, you can transform ordinary glassware into beautiful, faux milk glass pieces that look like they’ve been passed down through generations.
This easy milk glass DIY is perfect for budget-conscious decorators, thrift store treasure hunters, and anyone looking to add a touch of farmhouse charm or vintage flair to their home. Think classic vases, fruit bowls, pitchers, candle holders—the possibilities are endless.
The secret? Glossy white spray paint. That’s it. The trick is in the prep work: make sure your glass is clean and smooth, then apply light, even coats for that flawless porcelain finish. It’s an affordable, satisfying weekend project that delivers big impact with very little effort.
Perfect for weddings, holiday centerpieces, or just giving your shelfie game a serious upgrade, this DIY milk glass technique proves that high-end style doesn’t have to come with a high-end price.
So next time you’re strolling the aisles of the dollar store or eyeing those dusty dishes in your cabinet, remember: with a little creativity, you’re just a spray can away from turning them into timeless vintage-style decor.
I LOVE art and craft works that both look professional AND that use recycled materials.
Excellent work.
btw. I think the colors would work well in summer as well with a bright polka dot dress 🙂
