   Cover flat surface with newspaper and spray paint the entire surface of the vase.
   
   Only cover the outside of the vase and consider painting two coats, allowing ample dry time between the two.
   
   Heat the glue gun toward the end of the second coat’s dry time to allow it enough time to heat up. , Add a dab of glue to one side of the coin and adhere it to the top, rim of the vase.
   
   Work your way around the rim with the coins until you reach the end. , You should have evenly spaced rows of coins, completely covering the vase.
