DIY: Enamel Painted Vases

This was a fun and easy project, inspired by Sugar and Charm's blog. I recycled some old vases and gave them a new life.

FolkArt Enamels in Aqua and Americana Triple Thick Gloss Glaze, paper towels, paint brush and a mixing cup.

When I finished paining, lay it upside down on a paper towel.

Let dry over night.

Voilà, you have a beautiful new vase!

 

Supplies: I used FolkArt Enamels in Aqua and Americana Triple Thick Gloss Glaze that I had bought from Michaels Arts and Crafts store, paper towels, paint brush and a mixing bowl or cup.

Directions:
 1. Clean the vases with hot, soapy water and dry completely.
2. Pour in the gloss glaze, cover the inside of the vase, pour out the excess and let the vase dry.
3. Pour in the enamel color of your choosing, paint the inside surface with a brush.
4. When finished paining, lay it upside on a paper towel.
5. Turn the vase back over and touch up the drips inside. Every fifteen minutes you can even out the thickness on the bottom of the vase as the paint will start to collect.
6. Let these dry over night and in the morning you have a beautiful vase.
