D.I.Y Textured Vase Upcycle Project

You’ve hit the jackpot at your local op shop (or the back of the cupboard) and found some vases with great structure but their patterns are less than desirable. Perfect. Daggy vases are our favourite thing to upcycle and it’s so easy to do.

What you need:

1. A drop sheet to cover surfaces
2. Vases in various sizes
3. Sample pot brush
4. Sample pot in chosen colour (we used Dulux Ballet Shoes and Dulux Red Shock)
5. Plastic pot for mixing
6. Baking powder

The Process:

1. Lay your drop sheet over your surface
2. Pour 1 cup of paint into a plastic pot and mix 1 tablespoon of Baking Powder. You can mix more Baking Powder if you want a very textured finish.

3. Apply two coats of paint allowing to dry in between in layer

4. Style with flowers and voila! Bonus use, add to your Christmas tablescape to give your table the perfect kiss of colour.
