Super-Cute Ceramic Vase Makeover
You have to love a $1.99 vase. I found this one at the thrift store. I thought it had a nice shape, and had such cute potential, but I hated the finish. It reminded me of 1985 and not in a good way. I had a can of Catalina Mist left over from this project and gave it a few quick coats to make a Super-Cute Ceramic Vase Makeover. Did you know you can spray paint ceramic with the right kind of spray paint?
After giving the vase several coats of the multi-surface spray paint and letting it dry completely. I used the stencil mug idea in a project that I had done For Country Living magazine years ago and adapted it for the vase.
I cut a stencil out and laid it over the painted vase. I did it on regular paper instead of shelf paper because I was afraid the stickiness would pull the spray paint off.
I then held it in place as I used a stencil pouncer and added glass paint. I had to do a few coats. After the stencled paintl dried, I painted a cute, little, scallopy edge around the top of the vase with a paint brush
And then added a few cute dots.
I flipped it over and did some X’s on the bottom to make a bit of a diamond or cross hatched pattern. I like the look it added.
After it cured, I coated it with the perm-enamel sealer so it would be water-proof. I am still going to wait a few days though until it cures completely.
I am so happy with how it turned out and I can’t wait to add some flowers. While the paint will take some water, it can’t be submerged.
I love the little dots at the top.
And can you tell I love that spray paint color? If you love vase upcycles, check out this post on how to make a vase look like plaster
