Baking Soda Painted Vase

Recently we had several bouquets of flowers delivered in those standard clear glass vases you see all over the thrift stores. Most of these will be donated but I saved the best one to repurpose! 

Here is the one I thought had the most style. 

As you scroll through this post please visit the bold blue links for more Homeroad information and the products I used for this project. 

After seeing this quick and easy makeover you may want to take a trip there yourself and grab a few! 

I began with about a cup of Fusion Mineral Paint in Bayberry. 

You can use just about any kind of paint for this project. 

I added about 2 tbsp of baking soda to the paint and mixed it thoroughly. 

I gave the vase a light first coat and let it dry.

The baking soda gives the paint a very fine texture. 

The inside of the vase got painted just as far as you can see into the top so the vase could still hold water for flowers. 

Next, I gave the vase a second coat painted in a different direction. 

I painted on one more coat back in the first direction to layer the texture on the vase. 

When the vase was completely dry I made a beaded necklace with a jute tassel on the end and tied it around the neck of the vase. 

That plain old glass vase now looks like ceramic and I love it! 

I filled the vase with silver dollar eucalyptus I hung upside down and dried from one of the flower bouquets.

See another vase I made with a dot chenille pattern a while back. 

The beautiful green color looks great in my new kitchen and this project was super quick and easy to do!

Sadly we had to say goodbye to my father this month. He was an incredibly strong and brave man who fought cancer for many years. 

He left a big hole in our family and he will be dearly missed.
