This project is a mash up of modern art and the art of recycling. It's inspired by the work of Gene Davis who was known for painting vertical stripes of color. It'd make a great Earth Day project. Or make a bunch for May Day and fill them with flowers for your neighbors.

 


What you'll need
  • class jar (spaghetti and olive jars work well)
  • painter's or masking tape
  • glass paint
  • paint brush

How to make it

  1. Remove any labels from your jar and wash it with warm soapy water. Let dry.

    Then place tape in vertical strips around the jar.

  2. Time to paint. Experiment with colors—go for bright and bold or soft and pastel. It's up to you. Let the paint dry overnight.

     

  3. You can fill the vase with water and flowers or pencils for your desk.
