How to make a coastal decorative vase with Mod podge and Rit dye

Hello there! I know you are just dying to know how to make a coastal decorative vase with Mod podge and rit dye. Get it, dying?

OK, corny, I know. Every time I work with the Mod podge and Rit dye combo I learn something new and put a new twist on my projects.

Here’s the thing….

You really can’t make mistakes.

I think anything you do with this combination will make it your own.

That is what I am loving about it.

You can’t really duplicate the same exact project, however, you can get the same effect whatever way the two combined decide to do together that day.

SUPPLIES NEEDED:

Mod podge Matte finish

sponge brush as shown

vase of choice

rubber band if you want to add a little interest

Rit dye, color of choice

Martha Stewart Metallic glaze sold at Home depot.

First:
Paint vase with mod podge two coats should do it.

Let dry for 30 minutes in between first coat.

Next,

Paint your Rit dye starting at the top and let drip down vase.

This is messy and I have a mat and plastic bag under my project.

My husband is just waiting for something TRAGIC to happen.

So far

so good.

As the Rit dye is dripping,

I continued to brush in an upward and downward motion.

This is where you can get creative and do what you would like

Let it dry as shown.

After the Rit dye dried over night,

I took a second color Aquamarine and did a quick coat over the teal.

I let that dry for a few hours

and that is when I took my Martha Stewart Metallic glaze

and lightly brushed on, then rubbed lightly with a paper towel.

I just love the Art Nouveau effect it gives.

I lightly sprayed my vase with a Satin polyurethane to protect it.

I have to say I am pretty impressed with this Coastal diy decorative vase.

Not because I did it but because the two combined take on a life of their own…I just watch it happen:)

I hope my friend likes it as much as I do……{It is a house warming gift}

These techniques are for decorative purposes only. Even when protecting it with the poly, you can’t wash it in the dishwasher or anything like that. You can use it for flowers, twigs, of just plain.
