Do you like the look of high-end ceramic pottery, but despise the high-end price tag? If you answered yes, this DIY faux pottery tutorial is for you! Today’s tutorial features repurposing an old, inexpensive glass vase into something beautiful featuring smART DIY paint from AR Workshop. You can also use vases from your local dollar store or thrift stores as well! Keep reading on for the easy-to-follow steps!

Supplies needed:

1. Inexpensive glass vases (cleaned and dried thoroughly)
2. SmART paint from AR Workshop
3. Cup of soil
4. Cinnamon
5. Paintbrushes
6. Dry cloth

Here are the basic steps:

1. Using our AR Workshop smARt paint, brush on the paint to the glass vase of your choice. Allow to dry. (You can use a hairdryer on cool to speed up the process.)
2. For the next coat, dab on the paint for a more textured look. Allow to dry.
3. Dab on one more coat for the final layer. Allow to dry.
4. Next, take damp soil and brush on the jar lightly. Keep brushing on until you get an “aged” effect. Gently wipe off with a cloth or paper towel.
5. For an additional “rusty” look, sprinkle on some cinnamon and lightly blow off of the vase.
6. Add dried florals and wooden beads to complete the look.
