Diy Scalloped Gilt Leafage Vase

Hello my friends!  One of my blogging goals lately has been to demo y'all non exclusively to a greater extent than involved makeovers together with room reveals, but super uncomplicated projects that anyone could do.  What I'm sharing today definitely falls into the "anyone tin practise this" category.  

In to a greater extent than than i shop that I've been inward lately, I've noticed many vases together with pots amongst gilt especial trim.  What a keen agency to wearing clothing upward a evidently sometime vase!  With a recent garage sale detect vase that I had on hand, I develop out to create my own.

I've spray painted a few drinking glass projects inward the past, but this fourth dimension I wanted to receive using the Martha Stewart liquid gilt gilding pigment that I used on the hardware for my daughter's nightstands.  It covers together with hence good together with actually has a warmer, richer color than regular gilt spray paint.

Rather than making merely a broad gilt band of gold, I decided a scalloped trouble would move fun.  Now, I'm pretty sure that the FrogTape kind tapes come upward inward a scallop which would brand this projection fifty-fifty easier.  However, I didn't receive got whatsoever on hand, together with hence I improvised.

Using a bottle cap most the size that I wanted the crease of my scallop to be, I traced the border along a strip of frogtape.  I went almost to the border together with hence the depth of the scallop would move larger.  Then, I carefully cutting it out, beingness careful non to tear the sparse parts.  I should receive got started amongst wider tape, but I didn't intend that far ahead.  

After it was cutting out, I applied it to the build clean glass, making sure that it was even.  Then, I did add together or together with hence other slice of record merely to give me a piffling to a greater extent than of a security margin when applying the paint.  One coat of the liquid gilding did the trick.  It dries real evenly together with quickly.  Be sure to cutis the record off correct when y'all complete icon together with hence that the pigment doesn't dry out together with cutis off amongst the tape.

Obviously, I volition exclusively manus launder this vase, together with in all likelihood avoid getting the exterior moisture every bit much every bit possible fifty-fifty at that.  And, y'all for certain could brand this amongst spray paint.  Even a glossy bold color, or glossy white would hold off fabulous.

This vase fits inward everywhere, I mightiness require to brand another!  I'm nonetheless loving the pom pom coasters that my immature adult woman made me for Christmas, together with I merely picked upward an acrylic tray at West Elm that has been a fun novel accessory.  Everything looks ameliorate on a tray!

So, amongst merely a few supplies together with most 10 minutes, this pretty projection is easily inside anyone's reach.  Just perfect for a fresh bunch of confine color!
