How to "Age" a Plastic Thrift Store Urn ~Easy & Thrifty
by
Diann
I LOVE old stone urns! I would have them everywhere in my yard if I could. But, my budget has a different opinion! So, I watch for cheap plastic urns when I am at thrift stores/flea markets/yard sales and then "age" them myself. Very easy, quick and super thrifty! Full step by step on the blog post!
Aging a plastic urn.
A couple of coats of white craft paint.
Mix up some gray. No right or wrong shade in this mix.
Paint the gray on. Once again, no right or wrong way.
Some rubbing off, some sandpaper and you age to your liking!

Awesome! My urn is a taupe color- I think I will try to use white to age it!
