Anthropologie Vase Dupe

So every once in a while when I see something I want to copy on the internet, I try to locate the original source by doing a google image search. 

Today I saw this amazing black textured vase that didn't look that hard to create and I was right! 

All you need is an old vase, some paint, and a few felted pom poms! 

Take a look...

So I'm all about trying to recreate the look on some level. 

I saw these great Anthropologie vases that looked like they were doable. I could definitely do something similar at a much better price!

After all, I did something similar with glass beads when I recreated the look of chenille pom poms on a vase that matched my bed spread a few years ago. 

I grabbed a dollar spot vase and some small felted balls that were leftover from this project. I had originally bought them on Christmas clearance at Michaels that were similar to these. 

The felted balls are different than regular pom poms because they are a tighter weave. 

If I had more balls (snicker) I would have tried to dupe the pattern on this vase but I didn't so my pattern is a little more spread out and it works! 

First, using hot glue, I glued the felted pom-poms all around the vase. I was lucky that my vase had lines in it so it was easy to stay in line. 

When the pom poming was finished I mixed up Coal Black Fusion Mineral Paint with baking soda. I used about 2 tablespoons of the baking soda to twice as much paint. 

I painted over the pom poms and vase until they were covered then let it dry. 

For my second and third coats I mixed equal amounts of paint and baking soda for a thicker texture and once again covered the vase and pom poms. 

The pom poms actually got hard when it dried!

I did another fun textured paint treatment on another flower vase recently too! 

I think the look is very similar to the very expensive Anthro vases and I'm ready to try it again to get the exact same look with more pom poms!

This reminds me of another vase I had fun doing in the past!

What do you think? I may do this in other colors as well, I love the textured look!
