Easy DIY Pots / Vases.

So Chels and I decided we had a huge craft itch that just had to be scratched. It was super easy and fun! Here are some directions so you can make some for your home!


Step 1: Find an old vase/pot. We went to our local Goodwill and found some for 69 cents. 


Step 2: Find the color(s) you want! We used spray paint and acrylic paint for the finishing touches. We found that flat paint works and looks best.


Step 3: To get the embossed letter or words just grab your hot glue gun! Don't worry, hot glue is very forgiving once dried. Peel off it you don't like how it looks and try again. Make sure you get all the "glue fly-aways" off before you paint because you can see them through the paint. 


Chelsea just cannot get enough!
  
Step 4: Paint. Do at least two coats. This may be the final step for some if you like how it looks. For all you over-achievers (like us) go ahead and add some sass!!  


Step 5: To add sass we used sponge brushes and acrylic paint. 




Step 6: ENJOY!
