What type of paint should I use?

I recommend using non-toxic acrylic paint that is suitable for glass surfaces for best results.

How do I remove stubborn labels?

Soaking the bottle in warm soapy water usually helps loosen the adhesive, making it easier to peel off.

Can I use real flowers in this vase?

While this vase is primarily suited for dried or faux stems, you can use it for real flowers with a small water fill. Just ensure the glass is clean and dry.

How can I make the paint last?

Allow time for the paint to cure fully before using the vase and avoid washing it directly in water; instead, clean it with a damp cloth.

Can I use different bottle shapes?

Absolutely! You can experiment with different shapes and sizes to create a diverse arrangement.

How should I store the vase off-season?

Store it in a dry, cool place, and wrap it in bubble wrap or soft cloth for protection if necessary.
