I have been all about vase makeover lately and this clay one was super fun!


I had a tall sea-glass vase that I wasn’t loving anymore so I thought why not cover it in air dry clay and have some fun!

I picked up two tubs of air dry clay and some clay tools from Michaels.

After dusting off the vase, I began putting the clay onto the vase. It stuck really well.

I kept it at an even thickness and didn’t do it too thick or thin to try to avoid cracking.

Once the whole vase was covered, I added some light water to it to try and smooth out the clay.

I then began doing a pattern with my clay tools. It was in no way perfect, which is what I love.

I let it dry overnight, it still wasn’t quite dry, but I applied some cream chalk paint.

The paint went on so well and you could do any color or add a darker color in the cuts to add more depth.

Here’s a close up of the texture on the finished vase.

I love how it turned out and I am now obsessed with clay and can’t wait for my next project!!

    How waterproof is it? Could it be left outdoors as a candle holder or kerosene lamp? Great idea!
