{Pinterest Project} is a series where I actually make something I’ve pinned, usually putting my own spin on it. So far, Pinterest hasn’t let me down with all the amazing ideas. Today’s project originated from this pin, from Bliss Images and Beyond, and this pin, from a now defunct blog.
Start out with a collection of glass vessels…mine are all from the Dollar Store. I didn’t even bother to clean them or take off the price tag. Nice. Thanks camera, for picking up all the details!
Wrap the glass with rubber bands until they are taut, making sure the bands lay flat against the glass. You don’t want them loosey-goosey and able to move around. The pattern and number of bands is purely up to you.
The original pins used frosted glass spray, but I did that with my DIY Chevron Glasses, so I opted for Rustoleum Metallic Brass. Just place them upside down to keep the inside clean, and give them a few light coats….no primer necessary.

Unlike wall stripes, wait for the paint to dry completely before carefully cutting the bands and peeling them off the glass. How pretty are these…for $1 each!?
Another fast, cheap and easy project…perfect for our About An Hour party this Thursday! Hope you plan to link up. Has Pinterest got you cranking out any projects lately? Do you have any pinned ideas you’d like to see executed? Send them to me and maybe I’ll be your guinea pig.
A truly fabulous look from a simple diy!
Ahh! I assumed it was tape.. rubber bands! Brilliant! Love the gold:)
Very nice! One more reason to keep your house stocked with rubber bands.
And you do it again!!!!!!! LOOOOVE the gold vases!!!!!
Those look beautiful. Nice job!
These are awesome! Fast, easy, and cheap are always my favorite projects. Also, I'm digging the gold.
Really love these vases, and it looks pretty simple to do! Thanks for sharing 🙂
I see this is what I am going to be doing this weekend! Oh, and making some sort of garland!:)

These are perfect for fall all the way into the holiday season!
Great idea with the rubber bands. Looks way more expensive than one buckaroo, well done!
So cute!

How did I miss these? LOVE. Pinning. {whenever I type that I feel like I am Charlie Sheen saying, "Winning!"}
Dude. Genius! I didn't realize you DIYd those! I thought you bought them that way!
Gorg! I saw these on Pinterest as well and have been dying to DIY them. I think I saw them in white, but the gold is very glam and fall.
I will never cease to be amazed at how crafty you are. Your ingenuity means that I can look crafty later. 🙂

Wow!! I love this. Need to spray paint a couple letters and wanted to paint them yellow. I guess gold would work and then I can spray some vases! Lovely.
Hello! I popped over from Pinterest Told Me To and couldn't be more excited about your awesome blog! These are GENIUS! I plan to make and add to my Christmas decorations. You have a new fan!

GORGEOUS!!!!!! love them! thanks for the inspiration!
Oooh definitely trying this!
Oh, they are gorgeous! Well done!
So clever!! Thanks for sharing!
I just spray painted rubber band vases and they are lovely. What do you coat them with after all is said and done so paint won’t chip?
Hi Donna! There’s really not a lot you can do, other than handling them carefully. You could try a clear seal to reinforce it!
These are beautiful. I just want bought 20 vases for a wedding I am helping with and am about to give it a try. Nervous and excited 😉
