Black Dahlia Centerpiece

Use spray paint to dramatically transform silk flowers and a clear glass vase.

For the flowers: YOU'LL NEED • Rubber gloves • Assorted silk flowers • Black spray paint • Glue stick • Paper plate • Silver glitter • Fake rhinestones and jewels • Glue gun

1. Find a well-ventilated space (backyard or garage), put on a pair of rubber gloves and spray flowers with paint. Let dry standing up or on newspaper.

2. Dab sections of each flower with a glue stick, then dip them into a plate of glitter.

3. Attach rhinestones or fake jewels with a glue gun, if desired.

For the vase: YOU'LL NEED • Clear glass vase • Masking tape • Newspaper • Krylon Looking Glass Mirror-Like Paint

1. Thoroughly clean vase inside and out; let dry completely. Tape off outside surface of vase with masking tape and newspapers to protect it.
