Application:
First, thoroughly clean your old vases to remove any dust and residue.
In a mixing bowl, mix acrylic paint with baking soda. The ratio should be approximately 1 part baking soda to 2 parts paint. Adjust the amount of baking soda to achieve the desired texture.
Apply the paint mixture evenly to the surface of the vase with a brush. You may need to apply several coats for complete coverage.
Allow the paint to dry completely between coats. This ensures a smooth and even finish.
If you wish, you can lightly sand the surface of the vase with sandpaper for a more rustic look.
Once the final coat is dry, your art ceramic vase is ready to display.
Variations and tips:
For a unique touch, experiment with different shades to match your interior. You can also add a touch of metallic paint to the edges for a more glamorous look. If you prefer a more rustic look, consider using a darker color and lightly sanding the surface to reveal traces of the original vase underneath. You can also apply this technique to other items, such as flower pots or candlesticks, to create a cohesive look throughout your home.
