  When I saw this black little vase on the shelf in the thrift store, it was screaming makeover! I thought it's curvy rim and it's three little footers were more soft and feminine and its black color spoke to a more masculine nature.       I knew instantly I wanted to make it softer, more feminine, compliment its dainty nature. Since it is made of ceramic, I examined it for any cracks for flaws. It was in perfect condition. I removed the floral foam and cleaned out the inside. Underneath was a sticker that needed to be removed. If you've ever had trouble removing the adhesive residue from stickers, try using a spritz of WD-40. Spray it over the tag or adhesive residue, wait a minute or two, then scrape it off. Once all removed, use a little rubbing alcohol to clean away any dirt and grease. It works great on even the gooey-est adhesives! I lightly sanded the surface so that the primer would have something to latch onto. Be sure to sand around every area to be primed....
