Turn a New Vase Into an Aged Pottery Find
The aged pottery look is something that I’ve been in love with for quite some time. I had a white pitcher/vase that I have loved the shape of but never loved the color, so I tried my hand at aging it.
Best chalk paint
All I used for this project was some chalked paint I had on hand and some dirt from my yard.
I started by brushing on my chalk paint (rustoleum in linen white) and brushed it on on every direction. I wanted a lot of texture.
It took about 3 coats to fully cover the surface of my pitcher.
Once the paint dried I grabbed some dirt from my yard, mixed it with water for a thick mud consistency and brushed it on using a foam brush.
I really wanted it aged so I did my dirt a bit thicker, but you could easily adapt to whatever your style is. And that’s it! The project is done, and it only took two components. Happy crafting!
(as a side note to this project, a family member knocked this off the counter in the kitchen and it shattered into a billion pieces so I wasn’t able to get a really pretty after photo.. so sorry!)

Looks great... shame that it got broken... Was the paint still wet when you applied the dirt?
