Ienjoy DIY projects, it is so cool being able to see something transform. I was once into clear glass vases for some reason, I have tons of them. I've spray painted vases before to change the look but wanted something more. I then stumbled upon using dirt, spackle and/or joint compound to a vase and was instantly in love. So I grabbed 3 glass containers I had and went to work. FUN doesn't even begin to describe this project, I even got Ms Bella to help.
Joint Compound Method
Step 1:
Clean the vases/container you plan on using
Step 2:
Apply a layer of joint compound. I used a generous amount but keep in mind it takes 24hrs to fully dry
Step 3:
I applied dirt first but like the look. I would suggest to paint it the color you want it. You can use spray paint, chalk paint or regular paint. I used matte black spray paint.
Step 4:
While the paint is drying throw dirt on the vase. Here is where your personal creativity comes into play. You can throw it on or rub it on. I used a combo of each.
Step 5:
Again, your personal taste comes into play at this stage. If you like where you are at you can seal it and be done. I played around some more, I rubbed the vase until some of the white joint compound started to show through this really gave them a aged look
Step 6:
Seal it with Clear matte sealer
Here is the video of the process, except adding dirt I’m working on cataloging every step of DIYs but I just get so excited to finish and forget to capture the before 🤦🏽♀️
