Thrift Store Cloches Makeover

3 Materials

1 Hour
Easy

Most of the time, when I shop at a thrift store, I don’t buy anything. Then, there are those few times when I feel like I hit the jackpot and find some pretty exciting things. Last week, I went into the last store of the day and found so many good things. You can see my haul on my YouTube video HERE. Two of the things I found that day were a pair of tall cloches! I couldn’t believe they were still there and they were also half off! JACKPOT! I loved the shape of the cloches and how tall they were, but I wasn’t a fan of the gold top. I knew that was an easy fix and I am excited to share this thrift store cloches makeover with you!

Supplies Used In This Thrift Store Cloches Makeover (aff):

Modern Masters Primer

Modern Masters Bronze Paint

Modern Masters Blue Patina Aging Solution

Thrift Store Cloches

Paint Brushes


Steps To Get The Aged Medal Look on These Cloches:
  1. Put two coats of the  primer on. Make sure the first coat is dry before applying the second coat. 
  2. Once the second coat is dry, apply one coat of the  bronze paint
  3. While the bronze paint is wet, spray the  Blue Patina Aging Solution over the paint. 
  4. Let the magic happen. Once the  solution is dried, the project is done.
  5. If I missed a spot with the  solution or I want more of the patina look, I paint the area again with the  bronze paint and spray with the  solution again. 


These cloches will be used all year round. I will fill them with nests and eggs for spring. I will add faux plants under them during summer and Christmas decor in the winter. So many possibilities and they look great no matter what is under them.
