This DIY is perfect for farmhouse decorations and you can use items you already have at home such as old vases that no longer match your style and even glass jars from pantry items can be transformed into a beautiful home decoration that is as unique as you are.
How to make any vase look like a clay vase with your own unique style
First, start by selecting the theme or the key colors you intend to use.
Gather the materials needed to make the clay vases
- Baking Soda
- Acrylic or Chalk Paint
- Paint Brushes in various sizes
- Dollar Tree Glass Vases in various sizes
For this DIY I used two glass vases that I used in the past to experiment with other craft ideas. That is one of the benefits of this type of DIY, you can use an old vase that no longer matches the colors or the style of your home. You can also choose to use items you want to recycle as well.
In the link above I included a list of the dollar store glass vases where you can find many different shapes and sizes for a very affordable price and make as many faux clay vases for home decor as you need.
Let’s get started making these fun and gorgeous faux clay vases for home decor
- In a mixing cup mix the baking soda and the main paint color for the faux clay vases and mix well until you achieve a thick paste texture.
- Apply a thin layer of the mix of baking soda and paint to the vases and allow them to fully dry.
- Add more baking soda to the mix until a very heavy paste texture is achieved and apply a second coat of this mix to the vases (or recycled glassware).
Once the layers of paint and baking soda are dried you will have recreated a gorgeous texture that resembles clay.
You can use your new gorgeous vases as is but I decided to add one more layer of color and design to create a more unique style.
How to add your unique style to the faux clay vases for home decor
- Using a pencil sketch the design on the clay vase. Use very light pressure.
- Once you are happy with the design paint the design using your choice of color and a small brush.
For the small faux clay vase I decided to create a simple vine with green leaves in a beautiful pastel green color. For the larger vase, I used painter’s tape to create two areas for a lovely blue and pink color contrast on the vase.
Lastly, add your favorite flowers and blooms and enjoy your unique faux clay vases!
