Painting the inside of an Eiffel tower vase

my3jacks

Hi , I searched the topics and didn't see one that covered this.

I am doing our centerpieces with red ostrich feathers in tall eiffel tower vases. I would love to find red vases but I have searched everywhere with no luck.

My questions are: does anyone know where to find 24 inch red eiffel tower vases or has anyone successfully painted the insides of these vases or any glass vase?

I have tried numerous kinds of paints and nothing seems to want to stick. I need them to be translucent- because I want to light them with floralytes.

Any input would help.

Thanks in advance

It seems that I'm about three years late on this one....but just in case others are looking for the same thing...

What I did was buy some clear Eiffel Tower vases and inserted some red organza. Got a 6" roll and cut to length (about 48" lengths because I folded them in half prior to inserting). You will need a nice long stick or dowel to get the organza to the bottom ;-)

Oh yeah...and if you plan to insert lights, I would do this at the same time to avoid bunching up the organza later.
