Inexpensive & Easy Diy Project: Create Porcelain and Aged Bronze Vases
2 Days
Easy
I am so happy to be writing about this project today. I saw this inspiration on pinterest from another blogger at Parlour Home Blog that wanted to recreate a cheaper version of some Z Gallerie and Jonathan Adler Vases she saw and liked. You all know that if I can re-create the same look at a fraction of the cost… I am absolutely going to try it!
I hope you enjoy how it turned out!
I was holding on to an old school glass coke bottle for a while, without really knowing what my plan for it was. I totally get like that with some random items and keep them around to use on future projects. My bf also brings me beautiful flowers arrangements frequently (I know…poor me J) I have a great guy! I feel very lucky! So Needless to say… I have a lot of plain and clear vases in my cabinetsnot being used. So I thought, I could repurpose these vases and make them look fabulous to display in my home. I plan on doing a few more vases, but I wanted to show you this entire project first.

I already had the spray paint and the puffy paint, so this project cost me NOTHING to do!
The supplies you will need:
Fabric Puffy Paint (doesn’t matter on the color- I just used what I had in my craft supplies)
Matte Spray Paint – I used White and Bronze
You will start by peeling off labels form the bottles of cans. I didn't peel the coke label off... it was really stuck. So I painted over it. Next you figure out the pattern you want to do, and start applying the puffy paint. I had..
Once you are happy with the height of your pattern, you will begin to spray paint several layers on each vase to make sure its completely coated evenly and you will not see any puff paint colors showing through.
And Ta-Dah! Once it dries… you are finished!
Pretty!

So cute! The label wouldn’t come off the Coke bottle because it’s painted on, just FYI 🙂
