How to upcycle glass vase to ceramic

How do you upcycle glass vase in to ceramic vase?

I am so excited to share this upcycle glass vase to ceramic DIY that my daughter Emily just did! The texture looks like ceramic and the end result is a mat finish.

I really the soft paint colors she chose they turned out so pretty.

So perfect to make for Valentines Day but really they look amazing anytime!

I love easy crafts and this one is super easy and really inexpensive to make! Win Win for me!

Items needed

Glass vases any shape or style

Acrylic paint (For this project Emily used Craft Smart Rose, Natural beige and coral links are under my Shop at the bottom of this post)

Baking powder

Mixing up paint for ceramic look

Emily used a whole bottle of acrylic craft paint and mixed in 2 tsp of baking powder.

Mix it until you like the consistency to be able to paint. Not too thick and not too runny.

I have seen where you can use baking soda as an option as well.

Begin the upcycle of the glass vase

Using your paint brush, begin to paint a thick layer of paint on your vases. Use even strokes.

Let dry.

Once it dries which will take about 30 minutes because of the paint being thick.

Then add another layer of thick paint. Let dry.

Once you have the second coat on these vases it should only take about 30 minutes to dry and bam! You are done with this upcycled glass vase project!

I think I should make a few pink ones to go with my upcoming Galentine party.

Remember how cute my party turned out last year? They would look so cute on the table!

Display your upcycled glass vase to a ceramic vase

Isn’t it amazing how they turned out? They totally look like ceramic!

Emily has it sitting on a shelf in her kitchen nook and it looks so pretty!

You might remember when Emily did a DIY bathroom towel racks out of copper piping here.

It looked amazing!

Emily is super creative!

I helped her paint her tiny master bedroom grey! At first I thought why would you paint a small bedroom a darker color? But it really turned out amazing!

The best thing about this craft project is that you can play around with paint colors to get just the right look for your decor.

You probably have some old vases hiding in a cupboard and you could whip up one right now! What a fun gift this would make to make and give to someone!

I think I need to make one in blues or greens for my Lake Kottage house I could drape some natural colored wooden beads coming out of it. So cute!

Karins Kottage

Welcome to Karins Kottage! There is always something fun going on! You would think after becoming an empty nester couple that our nest would be very quiet and empty but our Kottage nest is usually more full than what we started out with! You might find me hosting a birthday party or graduation party and a baby shower on the same weekend or a big outdoor get together with 25 of our friends and family in the backyard or maybe I might be in the kitchen trying out a new recipe for my hubby and I to grill on the BBQ for a quiet night for the two of us. I am passionate about entertaining and setting a beautiful table! I may or may not have an addiction to cloth napkins and fun salad plates oh and goblets too! I think I will always have a home decorating DIY project in the works as long as my hubby is on board with me haha. We have painted A LOT in the 6 homes we have owned in the 35 years that we have been married as well as re-done multiple pieces of furniture, added wall and ceiling treatments, replaced lights, bathroom fixtures and even tiled floors! I have sewn what seems like a million window treatments for our home as well as for family, made slipcovers, and duvets and even a formal dress or two!

  • What a beautiful and easy project! I will definitely be saving this for a project! I would have never thought of using baking powder!

    • I couldn't agree more! My daughter is so very talented and always creates beautiful things for her home. Thank you for stopping in and leaving such a sweet comment. I would love to see what you do with your vases.

      Hugs,
