This project is super budget-friendly and only requires a few materials. And I’m going to tell you what I learned from my mistakes so you can cut down on your material list even more!
step 1 : Prep your vase
The first thing you’ll want to do is prep your vase by covering it in a solid coat of spray primer. This will help the plaster adhere to the surface of your vase. Try to avoid spraying the primer on too heavy. It’ll result in drips and runs that will only peel off later causing you to re-do your priming job.

Make sure your vase is clean and dry and start by applying your plaster of Paris all over your glass vase with a paint brush.
Apr 6, 2021 · Step 4 – Paint Away! I wanted a dimensional, worn look so I worked in layers. First I sprayed a really thin coat of matte brown paint over the vases leaving some of the white plaster showing through. I can’t rave about this brown spray paint enough! It dried with somewhat of a chalky finish which made the vases feel incredibly authentic.
