Materials:
Flea market vase with a porous surface, like pottery.
Plaid Folk Art acrylic paint,
Wicker White #901.
Plaid Folk Art acrylic paint,
Fresh Foliage #954.
Plaid Folk Art acrylic paint,
Azure Blue #643.

Peridot #2776.

Turquoise #2778.
Lasercut stickers, leaves and bees.
Tools & Supplies:
Fine sandpaper.
Foam paintbrush.
Stir stick.
Before: Choose a flea market vase with a porous surface, like pottery.
WHAT TO DO
1. Rough up the surface of the vase with fine sandpaper. Be sure to sand any raised or glossy areas. Wash and dry the vase.
2. Prime the vase with a coat of Wicker White paint. Paint inside the mouth of the vase where it will show. Let dry. Apply a second coat if needed.
3. When the vase is dry, paint it with the Fresh Foliage paint. Be sure to paint inside the mouth of the vase. Let dry. Apply a second coat if needed.
4. Stir the Peridot Extreme Glitter thoroughly. Using the foam paintbrush, paint the vase with a coat of Peridot Extreme Glitter, leaving the inside of the mouth unglittered for contrast. Let dry for one hour.
5. Some stickers curl when wet, so test a sticker by painting it with the Extreme Glitter. Only use stickers that will not curl up. Arrange the stickers on the surface of the vase to create an all over pattern. Rub the edges of the stickers to keep the paint from seeping under the edges.
6. Using the foam paintbrush, paint the vase Azure Blue. Use a dabbing motion rather than a brushing technique over the stickers so the edges don't pull up. Cover the entire vase, including inside the mouth. Be sure to get paint into all the open areas of the stickers. Let dry.
7. Stir the Turquoise Extreme Glitter thoroughly. Using the same dabbing technique as before, apply a coat of Turquoise Extreme Glitter to the vase. Do not paint the glitter inside the mouth. Let the vase dry for one hour.
8. Carefully peel the stickers off the vase to reveal your makeover magic!
Stylish Silhouette: This project is all about masking, so when picking out stickers, consider their silhouette and do not focus on the printed designs.
