Today I am sharing how I transformed a thrift store vase that I purchased a couple weeks ago.

It was only a dollar, so it won’t disappoint me if this transformation doesn’t work. I have seen several tutorials on changing an appearance of a vase using different products. I am using joint compound and spackling to my vase to give it an updated look.
First step:
I started with a clean vase and some joint compound.
Spread the joint compound over the entire vase. For more control, I used my hands.
Let the first coat dry over night.
Giving the vase a second coat of joint compound, using a chip brush making vertical lines to finish it off.
Keeping the brush strokes going the same way.
Let it dry completely.
Sanding lightly the entire vase, then use a damp cloth to wipe down the vase . I spray painted the vase with Rust-0leum Painter’s Touch in the color French Blue.
Once the paint dried, using my fingers I applied one layer of spackling to the vase.
Let dry for about two hours.
Again, sand the entire vase lightly, with a damp cloth wipe the entire vase.
To seal the vase I used Krylon Flat Clear spray paint.

Decorating our home on a budget is my thrill. I think a home can look beautiful without breaking the bank. Your home should bring the best out of you and make you feel happy. You should smile every time you enter your home. 🙂
