    Love this idea….here’s an option for a different look…instead of spray painting the top portion, paint it with transparent stained glass paints or alcohol inks…..will give a cool stained glass effect…….for Halloween you might paint the top and bottom orange place the leaves on top and make a lighted pumpkin….so many great ideas…..great job!!
