Count Your Blessings Luminary
By: Tina Walden for FaveCrafts
This Count Your Blessings Luminary allows you to see the projected image on surrounding area's and it's just beautiful in the darkness, especially on a snowy evening. We wanted the vase to be just as beautiful in the daytime also so we decided the Krylon Mirrored Paint would give us the best of both worlds. Perfect for Christmas decorating or using as a wedding decoration, this luminary will warm your home with a soft, subtle glow. Make this as a gift for a loved one or create it just for yourself!
