Super Easy DIY “Terracotta” Vases

Leave a Comment

I’m sure that you guys have seen these Terracotta beauties circling either on your Instagram or Pinterest by now. And if you haven’t do you live under a rock? 

I  knew I had to do a little DIY after seeing them, so here I am showing you my super easy DIY terracotta vases. And when I say they’re super easy I mean one, two, three easy.

Before I start I do want to say that there’s no right or wrong way to do this project. I have seen people add baking powder to the paint, some use the matte paint alone or matte spray paint. Some people really get creative and add texture or drawings so it’s up to you and what you envision. I went with the matte paint,  I tried the baking powder method and let me just say that was a F A I L. It was my fault though I didn’t follow the measurements lol. 

What you need

– vases that need a little loving(i thrifted mine)

  • -acrylic matte paint, make sure it says matte finish

-brushes (bristle or foam)

-a bowlsuper easy diy terracotta vases

How To

-pour the matte paint in your bowl

-get your brush and get to painting girl

-i had to apply three to four coats depending on the vase. but make sure the paint is dry before you apply the next coat. My clear vases did require more than four coats because the white was not showing.

And that’s it! Yup, you read that right that’s it!

I will say if you want a little more texture definitely add the baking powder to get that extra humph. Your girl was just not ready for that level of expertise lol. I honestly love how simple these look and I added my dry flower arrangements. I have a thing for drying roses as you can tell. Each one of these bouquets has a special meaning so the ones in the pink vase are my wedding roses, brown vase holds my brother’s wedding flower bouquet, and the white vase holds the bouquet that T gave me this year.

But you can add whatever you would like or leave them empty, either way, they make a statement.

You like my outfit gee thanks it’s ✨thrifted✨

No, but it really is minus the hat and boots. I challenged myself to find a complete outfit and I gave myself a budget 😳 what a budget?!? Y’all know I’m usually a big baller when I thrift lol but I gave myself a $20-$25 max budget. And I got this blazer, top, jeans and purse for.....$20 🙌🏼 and love how it all just flows so effortlessly. I might be challenging myself more often.

Do you go thrift shopping?
So I don’t regularly post pictures of food becau So I don’t regularly post pictures of food because well I don’t think I can capture the essence of food like others 😂 but I thought my chicken noodle soup was very fitting for today’s little message.

Y’all it’s a mess over here in Texas! People have gone with our power, without water, and in some cases without food for a couple of days and it’s truly heartbreaking. My family and I have been okay our lights and water weren’t effected and I’m so grateful but in the same breath I felt guilty. So many people are really struggling like if the virus wasn’t enough as it is. Ive been praying so much and just really dedicating time to check on family and friends. I have also donated what I could. In the midst of it all I have found a sense of peace. God has a funny way of delivering certain messages and He’s been talking. This time has allowed me to really see things in a different perspective and to really appreciate everything. I know it’s hard to see the good in between all the bad but there’s always a little silver lining. 

I hope all of my Texas people are safe and warm. I’m praying for you all and if you need to talk please DM me. 

Also if you have been sharing, donating and or opening your homes up to other people thank you! You are amazing and I am so glad that we still have people who care.
