DIY How To Fake Enamelware

by Tammy H

2 Materials

One of the things I love about a Farmhouse American French Style is decorating with enamelware especially in the colors of white enamel and black. I’m excited to share a quick and easy DIY how to fake with paint and sharpie. If you love enamel as much as I do, then you are going to love this simple idea to achieve the look of enamelware with two easy steps.

Three ways to fake enamel on a pitcher, watering can and planter using spray paint, sharpie and embellished with black and white material

Pitcher Makeover to Look like Enamelware

First I removed the material

sprayed pitcher with Gloss Protective Enamel

Using fine point black Sharpie to outline rims and fill in handle

measured and cut a piece of black and white buffalo checked material from a tablecloth I had on hand, wrapped and tied around the pitcher.

Do you not get that annoying metallic "bronzing" effect on the Sharpie ink? If you do, did you get rid of it, somehow? Thanks.

OK so I have a true enamel pot not super large 3 qts at most and I was going to donate it this weekend but now I want to keep it but for what I don't know. It's 27 yrs old in perfect condition because it has not been used. Wedding gift. What are some suggestions other than as a plant pot? The lid is also very cool and I could hang that on a wall as art. So please someone answer because of you I'm keeping it a while longer,no pressure! 😄

Does it have to be enamel ware? Or can you do just glass ware?

Easier to "enamal" if you use a foam brush. You have more control than trying to hold a sharpie to the edge of pan/pitcher, etc. This is how I do it.
