Dollar Tree Vase Makeover
Have you ever done a DIY that had a lot of potential but you just didn't love it?
Did you ever think about making it over again?
Here at Homeroad I try to do projects that will apply to many styles... even if it isn't mine.
Today I'm changing things up with this crazy post and making over a makeover...
If you missed that makeover you can read all about it in this story where I give you all the DIY details.
I began this project with clear vases and a bag of glass gems from the Dollar Tree.
Cute and I loved the terra cotta painting effect but it just wasn't the neutral style color I need for my home.
So I mixed myself up a mixture of 3/4 cup of off white paint and about 3 tablespoons of baking soda.

You can use a light grey paint to get a cement look too.
I dabbed the paint mixture all over the green vase using a stiff paintbrush.
When the paint dried I mixed a tiny amount of brown paint into my off white paint and dabbed it on for more dimension.
You can add more color for a darker effect.
Ok, this is what I'm talking about!
Now these dollar store vases are perfect for my house!
They are almost like this chenille dot vase I made to match my bed comforter.
Never worry about making over a project if it isn't exactly what you want.
