DIY FAUX CERAMIC VASES: Testing Techniques, Paints and Thrifted Vases *Thrift Flip* | XO, MaCenna

On your failed texture black one,just paint it again with the black paint.

Hi babe

I’m gutted she painted that gorgeous green vase 😭

It’s been a long time ???

I also painted one of mine with my fingers to give it an "old world" type of texture, turned out beautiful.

how do you know how much paint to baking soda to add so you have enough when u r mixing your own color

next time grab some larger scale pieces

I read that you should sand the vases that are class and ceramic as well as apply primer before painting them otherwise they could end up flaking or chipping off. Did you find that they ended up chipping or flaking off easily?

I enjoyed the experiment. I have been trying different textures. I tired Baking power... yes it dries quick but add some fun fluffy texture.

Is there a way to seal this while keeping the matte finish? Hoping to use it for an indoor hanging planter

I have been spraying old dishes with high gloss spray paint in red and blue. I cannot believe how good it looks. Of course, I can only use it for decorative purposes now.

Some of the original colors appealed to me then making all of them with matte paint finishes. I like variations and gloss on some of the items. I know this was about painting them, but trends aren’t everything.:D

WoW that’s amazing! Can i use the normal wall paint for this? Does it work?

job well done

If I can offer any advice (as a life-long artist/crafter) RELAX. I just watched some other chicks video on this and you both seem overly trepidacious. It's impossible to fubar this project. Bcuz it's acrylic paint - submerge in water and everything will slip off - start again. And BE RESOURCEFUL. Sand, dirt, flour, cornmeal, oatmeal, plaster of Paris, thinset......practically anything can be added to paint (for texture).

Someone mentioned priming first - that's a good idea. Can get automotive spray paint primer at any hardware store, and grab a couple cans of clear MATT spray to make your item a little more durable. Can also leave the items outside on a hot sunny day (in direct sun) and it helps to sorta 'bake' the finish on. Have fun - Get crazy.

Beautiful!

Thank you Makenna! I always wanted to try this.

This is such a great idea. Thank you

I found soda made it look like ceramic and powder made it look like concrete.

I finally tried this with my toddlers thinking it would be very difficult to screw up. We used dollar store paint on a glass vase. The paint just wouldn’t stick. Maybe we’ll try to thicken it more next time or will use a higher quality paint. Any recommendations?

Can you show us how you wash your brushes? Seems like a lot of work 😅

Cool. I never understand though why people stir with a stick instead of say, a plastic spoon? LOL

Add more water to the bak soda paint. That's what happens to my store bought chalk paint after I've mixed a new color and it is sitting for a while. You just add water.

love the video, thanks! gonna do this for in my new house :)

This has to by far my favourite clip so far for diy. Keep up the good work girl, keep em commin 😁😁

Beautiful thanks so much and regards from South Africa 💫

I kinda doubt I'll get an answer now, but I'll ask anyway! I literally just bought the exact vase you did, the red one.. can you tell me what you used for that one? Was it the baking soda??

These are exquisite, thank you for sharing. I also like the baking powder texture and think a little water to thin it out would've worked just fine, especially on the very dimpled pink one. Baking powder cause bread to rise therefore it should probably be a bit thinner before application allowing it to process as it dried while on the item.

All great techniques 👍🏾

The colossal grey incidentally boast because body precisely contain worth a gamy drop. depressed, chubby half-brother

How did you do the bronze???

Love this trial and error video!!!

Ommmg look how your little fluff baby pops up behind you! 😭😭😍😍😍😍♥️

LOL I didn’t even notice the dog there at first and it caught me by surprise

Instead of paints. Try mica powder. Comes in lots of colors. Even metallics. 😀With a lil water or oil.

Why you just ruined the beauty of those thrift store bases

Ur baking powder is made to make your biscuits rise so it was raising

Lindoss seu trabalho amei fiquei apaixonada bj

That was very well done and a great, what not to do. Sooo very helpful!! Question, what colors did you use for the red-orange vase?

Great experiments! MaCenna, Waverly chalkpaint with baking soda works perfect! I do it all the time on projects like this. Chalk paint is already thick and more heavy bodied and it covers well but with the baking soda it works fab!

Do you need to coat them up after drying to prevent scratches and cracking in the future?

too talkative, I cut the sound...trop bavarde, je coupe le son...ça va mieux. Bonne idée de relooking.

How about corn meal?

Im sorry but i think i missed the bronze. Did you use a metallic?

the difference between baking soda and baking powder is - when cooking with baking SODA you need an ACID in the recipe - lemon juice for example, to ACTIVATE the reaction which causes your mixture to rise. Baking POWDER already had an ACID incorporated into the mixture which ACTIVATES WHEN COMBINED WITH LIQUID - which is why your BAKING POWDER mix started to rise and harden (Im not a smarty pants, its just I wanted to make a mug cake earlier in the week but only had soda and the recipe said powder - so I googled it to see if they are transferable - they aren't, SODA needs an acid in the recipe, end of)

is your dogs tail docked!!!?

Has anyone done this with Fusion Mineral Paint?

I love these.Can you seal these with a clear coat???

Am I weird for liking the baking soda one? I liked the clunky texture 👀
