Neon vases.

This is a project that I had in mind for quite some time, but I couldn't find the right bottles. Until now... A fun way to recycle your used tomatoes bottles.

What you'll need
- bottles (found mine at a supermarket, Delhaize)
- tape
- neon spray

Tutorial

Step by step
1) Start by removing the label from the bottles
2) Decide were you want to place your tape
3) Protect the parts that you don't want to paint with paper
4) Start spraying
   TIP: You will need more than 1 or 2 layers
5) Gently remove the tape and paper
