Silly question but do you think buying decorative sand from the dollar store would be easier to use on a lighter paint? Also, with the vase you used the grout on, have you found that it has set, or do you get some grit falling off when you touch it? Thank you so much for sharing this video!
@@marnilane6124 Hi Marni! I think sand would work! I have also seen variations on Pinterest where people used regular dirt on white or light colors. Also, the grout vase has held up great. The acrylic paint and matte clear spray paint sealed it all in.
@@ActuallyAlli, thank you so much! I’ll have to check out Pinterest 😁 Do you ever create with air dry clay? I bought some the other day from Amazon and I’m not quite sure what to build 😂
FUN TIP*** Primitive crafters use fine ground coffee grinds, (used grinds). Mix in the amount u like with your paint. The grinds will give a hint of a stained effect. It gives a great stoneware pottery effect
I appreciate that you used primer and a top coat! Drives me crazy when DIYers paint right over glass, plastic, or an existing glaze without sanding or priming. Whenever I go thrift shopping, I always find a few "DIY fail" vases that weren't properly prepped and primed--the paint job is cracking and flaking off and looks terrible. Prep is key to a successful project. So thank you for demonstrating the correct way!
The last one (dirt) is my favorite, but would use any of these. Great idea to dress up the clear ones we all seem to have around! Thanks for the inspiration!
Alli I'm loving the vases, my favorite is the mud vase, but the texture on all of them is stunning. I'm going to try these techniques for sure. They would make adorable textured snowmen too TFS, xoxo
Thank you so much for this! I’ve seen these different types of vases done. But your side-by-side explanation was excellent and very helpful! Also gave me confidence to give it a go!
Wow what a great job all the bases have different techniques and yes I am going to try the one with the dirt I’ve seen that being done I have to say you made them look not so challenging LOL it looked beautiful at the end I guess that would be my favorite and the one with the baking soda I would like to try so thank you so much have a blessed day
You know what i like. You container and spoon for dirt is real.. Thats how real people do it not showcase stuff. 👍 people are tired of fake showcase stuff
A coat of dark wax would look nice on the taller vase you weren’t sure joint compound would stick to. Dark wax would give it more dimension. Just a thought.
I am loving all these techniques! If someone isnt fond of the dirt, try coffee grounds👍 I am considering adding sand to paint, I believe that would be an interesting textural/ visual effect.
Primer is a base coat that gives the colored spray paint something to stick to, especially on smooth surfaces like glass. It's not completely necessary, and many spray paints have primer in them already!
Which vase was your favorite? Do you think you'd try the mud vase?

@@marnilane6124 I haven't used it in years, but I have plans on trying it out for DIYs this year!
Amazing work thanks so much for sharing with us
Me too try to make ceramic vases but want to learn about moorcroft vases Art

Ooo I'd love to try that! Thanks for the tip!
I to will try this. If u have any other tips, tell us. I'm just starting....
It’s so nice seeing all of these varied popular techniques consolidated in one video and side by side with each other. Each one is so gorgeous!
Wow!!! They all turned out so good. Gotta say I was not sure how the dirt/mud vase would turn out but I’m blown away!
It's definitely worth a try 😂 I was so skeptical of it when I saw the tutorials pop up on my Pinterest feed. I'm glad I gave it a try

I'm definitely happy I didn't skip the primer! All the finishes have held up really well even a year later!
“Let’s go outside and get some dirt!” Awww, so cute. Inspired once again…🙏
I really liked the 2 Terra Cotta colored ones the best. They look so good!
You did an excellent job with all the different textures. 👏👏👏
I must say the dirt one looks really good!
I love them all, they turned out beautiful. They look so high end.
They definitely saved me a lot more money than trying to buy fancy pottery!
I love the dirt style and grout style vase I'm going to try both
I love the last one
This video is great - seeing the techniques side-by-side. I want to try the grout and the dirt techniques. Thank you Alli!
The last one (dirt) is my favorite, but would use any of these. Great idea to dress up the clear ones we all seem to have around! Thanks for the inspiration!
Yes! It's a lot of fun to take an old vase that you already have and give it a face lift!
Mud vase was my favorite. The grout one I think would be awesome with some contrasting brown glaze or wax.
The one l loved the most is the round one with the faux cement technic.
Love how they all turned out.
The black one is beautiful, thank you. Greetings from Germany
They are all so stunning! Thanks for sharing them. Yes, I'd probably try the mud vase!
I like all the vases and the various techniques that you have used. The cement one was probably my favorite and had the most surprising outcome. 😊
I like the first one and the black one love those,they came out great
Thank you! Those two are my favorites also
The mud dirt technique - I loved how that turned out! But, I truly loved them all would try each of the techniques.
I love it too! I didn't think dirt could turn out so pretty.
I agree....I like the dirt one the best and then the cement look.....=]
Thank you! Those are my favorites too
I love the mud vase the most
Absolutely lovely vases. Love the terracotta style one I guess its the baking soda mix. Love this
Yes!! The baking soda makes a fantastic effect. I think that one is my favorite
All of them are beautiful thank you for sharing!!!
Alli I'm loving the vases, my favorite is the mud vase, but the texture on all of them is stunning. I'm going to try these techniques for sure. They would make adorable textured snowmen too TFS, xoxo
I loved both the concrete effect and the mud ones!
You know you're from the country when you laugh at someone for being grossed out by dirt... LOL You are so cute. All your vases turned out great Alli!
I love the middle one!! ❤️
I love the mud one the best 👍💯
I really like the look of the muddy one, thank u for doing this 💓
It's such a fun technique! I've done it a few times since and I definitely recommend trying it!
I loved them all. The mud and caulk are my favorite. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks! I'd say those were the most fun to make too
I really like all of them. I like the mud one the best though. It would be fun to try that one!
It is a lot of fun! I never thought dirt and mud could make a cute DIY
You are the cutest. I love that you're willing to experiment with us. I loved them all.
I had lots of fun trying new things! Thanks for watching 💕
Thank you so much for this! I’ve seen these different types of vases done. But your side-by-side explanation was excellent and very helpful! Also gave me confidence to give it a go!
Can you tell me exactly which two paint colors you used on first terracotta looking vase. Love how it looks. They all look great.
I love the black 👍
cornmeal would be a great texture also and the vase you used caulking on I would put white wax on after you were finished.
I really like the mud vase and was so fun to see you working on it 😍👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Love the mud base and the dry brush one best but all look great!
These turned out spectacular! I’m definitely going to try the mud one!
I recommend it! It's a lot of fun and the result is just really unique
Thanks for sharing Alli😊. I really like the grout and the dirt vase.
Thanks Karen! Those two are my favorite as well!
I like the grout one.
I just wish you added the colors of paint you used on each..I really like how they turned out
I think I’ll be trying the concrete and mud ones. Thanks for sharing!
Wow! These turned out great! The dirt vase looks awesome!
Thanks! It was a fun project, I didn't expect it to turn out so well
Since its cold here in IN. I'll have to try the one with dirt when it gets warmer but that's my favorite the others r unique too thanks for the demo
Here too! We have 6 inches of snow on the ground. Someone in the comments suggested trying sand from the craft store/dollar store or potting soil!
Thank you 4 the lesson. U r really good at this. 😊
Wow what a great job all the bases have different techniques and yes I am going to try the one with the dirt I’ve seen that being done I have to say you made them look not so challenging LOL it looked beautiful at the end I guess that would be my favorite and the one with the baking soda I would like to try so thank you so much have a blessed day
I love then all the vases they are so beautiful !
Loved the concrete & dirt technique❣️
Thanks! I was so surprised by how the concrete vase turned out. And the mud one too!
They all turned out beautiful even the dirt one. 😁 TFS
Who knew dirt could be beautiful? Haha 😅
Wow, excellent job. So glad you did this demo/research for us. Well done! Now we know!
It was a lot of fun experimenting for this video
Loved the mud!
I like them all, very unique
Thanks for watching! Each one has their own character, so it's a lot of fun
Each one definitely has its own charm
What colours did you use please for the terracotta vase 🙂🙂❤
You know what i like. You container and spoon for dirt is real.. Thats how real people do it not showcase stuff. 👍 people are tired of fake showcase stuff
Sometimes you just have to be resourceful when crafting! Haha Glad you enjoyed 💕
They all turned out great!
Thanks!! I love all 5 too, which I definitely didn't expect
I’ve done the concrete one and the baking soda. Want to try the dirt one
I love how the concrete one turns out with just some paint. The dirt one is definitely worth a try. I had a lot of fun with that
I like them all!
I’m a newbie, Hi 👋🏼 from Brisbane Australia Only just found your channel. Love the dirt one best
Hi and welcome Kerry! I'm so happy you're here. The dirt one is definitely my favorite too!
These are fantastic!
Love all of these! And you going out to get dirt is incredible! 😂
Great video. Thank you. I wasn't sure about the dirt vase but it did turn out very cool ✌🏽️
I love them all! I will definitely try them
Loved them all!
A coat of dark wax would look nice on the taller vase you weren’t sure joint compound would stick to. Dark wax would give it more dimension. Just a thought.
All are really cool n exciting to do
I am loving all these techniques! If someone isnt fond of the dirt, try coffee grounds👍
I am considering adding sand to paint, I believe that would be an interesting textural/ visual effect.
I hear some people use cinnamon. I'm just going to try and do a piece of pottery myself.
wow is there a tutorial on how did you make those cotton balls decor for black vase
I love ❤️ them all, good job 👍
nice technique loved it
You can also try coffee and cinnamon to rub into the vases! Love this!!!!
You're right! That's a great idea!
@@ActuallyAlli I tried the coffee yesterday it works great for an added warmth to the vase works better on lighter colors!
You can add corn meal to paint for a different texture.
Congratulations!!
Great video!!
Great video!!! What brand grout product did you use? Btw, at 7:31-gorgeous!!!
Hi Ashley, thanks for watching! I don't remember the brand, but I got it at Lowe's if that helps any
next time try to use all-purpose joint compound or plaster, it will give you better texture and coverage than grout.
Thanks for that tip! I actually have a thrift flip video coming up soon where I try that!
Great job
Love ❤️ it
Can you tell me whats the name of the colors you used in the first vase ?
Try Used wine bottles for Stem Vases.
Great job⚱️
A D O R E I obrigada 🇧🇷
Can you use this on plastic containers
You can! Just like working with glass, I'd suggest priming the surface or lightly sanding it first so the paint will stick
Do u think these would work on plastic vases
I definitely think it would work on plastic! Just make sure to use primer or lightly sand the vases first!
Damn! u r the Best
Hi, just wondering if anyone has done a layer of paint+ over the textured spray paint. Might be a super textured surface.
I think I saw someone on Instagram do that and it turned out really nice
What's primer? Is it necessary?
Primer is a base coat that gives the colored spray paint something to stick to, especially on smooth surfaces like glass. It's not completely necessary, and many spray paints have primer in them already!
What is primer?
Are all your faux ceramics actually ceramics to begin with?
Don't need to go to Michaels to
get the dirt , do ya,' Molly Brown?

Tip from someone who does tile floors. Please wear gloves when working with grout. It has strong chemicals and will dry your hands very badly.
Vase not vAse lol
