DIY Aged Vessel | THRIFT FLIP | Simple and Easy
Вставка
- Опубліковано 6 лют 2025
- Hey friends! This DIY aged vessel was an incredible thrift flip and so simple and easy. I have been so inspired by the trash to treasure idea lately and thought it was the perfect vase to use for a faux pottery project. Because of using a hair dryer to speed up drying time, I was able to complete this project in just a couple hours.
Supplies Needed for this Project
Vessel or vase
Joint compound
Flat spray paint (color of your choice)
Matte paints (colors of your choice)
Damp paper towel
You can choose to rub some dirt over it at the end like I did if you want to.
Any questions on this project, ask me in the comments section!

One of the best tutorial I've seen on this topic. Thanks for the kitty fix as well. 🥰
Love the idea of mixing the paint with joint compound! Better results this way for sure! ✌💚🌺
Thank you! It definitely cuts down on having to do layers and layers trying to get texture ☺️
Very pretty. Great tutorial...
I love these flips. You can make them ur own. I don't ever buy the high end stuff. I just redo things to look high end. I really liked ur project.
Hi Chelsea, love your work. Thanks so much from South Africa 💫
Thank you so much for the kind words! ☺️☺️
Luv the bottom of the paint can.
Awesome job from the clear vase to the beautiful aged look vessel thank you so much for sharing be blessed
Thank you so much, Emma! I appreciate you checking out my video ☺️
Beautiful🔥💯🔥
Did anyone noticed?
The final creation with the beautiful greenery, actually matched the kitty’s fur beautiful☺️
Did not know you could tint the joint compound. Good tip.
Yes! And it helps the process a lot if your project won’t be white.
Very pretty!!
Thank you so much 🤗
I have watched several of your videos and the wet paper towel method was a game changer for me. It is very nerve wracking at first because when adding colors on top of the other colors you think what have I done lol. But thanks so much cuz it really helped me
I’m so happy to hear you were able to find something helpful from my video! I have definitely had those what have I done moments too lol 🤗
I like that. Have to try this.
Thanks Mary! It is really easy 😊
I love the vase it is beautiful!

@@thisgirlathome I actually like yours better!
@@dclarkmcdonald 🥹 that means a lot, thanks girl!

Love this. I may do this on some planter pots I have
Thank you! Definitely a great way to refinish pots! Good luck!! 🖤
Perfect!
Thank you so much!!
Cool. Nice effect.
Thanks so much! 🤗
Fabulous!! I wonder if a matte sealer would be good to keep the dirt intact?
This was awesome!!! Love it!! ❤️
Thank you so much, Angie! I love how you can totally change an item with a few supplies and some imagination ☺️
Beautiful!!! Nice job!
I love it! I’m going to try this!!
Love it !!!
Thank you Debbie 🖤🖤
god bless you dear friend and Merry Christmas
Great work! I am going to copy your steps. One question: Can I mix the joint compound with Acrylic paint for the first layer?
Interesting. What materials are the joint compound & paints made of? I would think that would make a huge difference, for the psi compressive strength & adherence. I think some mixes could be good/ some bad, depending on composition of the materials.
Excelent!!!!
I love ❤️ it! 😍😍
Thank you so much Margaret! You’re too kind ☺️
Very beautiful. Great job!
No sanding required to spray with the first flat paint coat?
What colored of folk art did you use?
I love that you added Eucalyptus greenery to this vase. Did you add the dry floral foam inside your vase for your greenery or are the stems just freely put inside?
Very nice job. Did u use chalk paint?
Love it!!💗
Thanks so much Jackie!!
What combunds did u use to be thick?
Love your stool behind you
U r looking amazing
It turned out amazing. My brain doesn’t do well with random, it likes more concrete. But I am trying to work outside of my box
Is matte paint chalk paint? I love this.
Matte is just the finish of the paint. Like satin, eggshell, and gloss are all finishes. This is just spray paint, not chalk paint. Flat spray paint is often a cheaper alternative, but if you have chalk paint, you could use that too! 🖤🖤
@@thisgirlathome I appreciate u answering g me. I now know what to use. 🙂
@@estherheming8836 good luck and have fun on your project!
Can the same effect be made with Plaster of paris? Cause I got of whole bucket of that...
I would think so, although I’ve never used it for this project. I would say just make sure you prep the pieces well and make sure you put down a base coat to give it something to adhere well too.
Beautiful.
If you were selling something like this, how would you advertise it?
Thank you! Hmm good question. That would definitely require some thought because I wouldn’t want someone to mistake it for an authentic pottery piece from the photo.
What colors were you using other than the black? Where did you buy the Stems?
I used a very lift tan color (almost like a clay), a deep green, and two browns. I would definitely say choose earthy tones for your project and make sure you choose all paints in a matte or flat finish. Shiny paint won’t make this look authentic. The stems are just some dried eucalyptus I had one hand. Good luck and have fun with your project!! 🖤
@@thisgirlathome thank you so much!!
how did you prevent the spray paint from dripping?
Light coats! If your spray paint is dripping, you’re either spraying way too heavy in one area or too close to the vase.
Wondering which color black you used on the wall??
It’s Tricorn black! I use it all over my home ☺️
@@thisgirlathome Thank you!
❤❤❤❤
Yo me pregunto.... No da para un subtítulo en español 😮!!!!!!!!!!
instead of using your hands use a old paintbrush.
Please make sure your not destroying an expensive piece of depression glass (which I think this bowl might have been.) I mentioned it a little too late I guess. What a shame☹️
No worries, this vase didn’t have any of the indications I have been taught to look for to distinguish authenticity. At best, my guess is this would be a reproduction, not authentic depression glass. ☺️
