Hello there!~
The color sunshine orange Rit dye is probably my favorite.
I know you keep seeing it pop up here and there in some of my sneak peeks on facebook.
The color just makes me smile.
Today I am sharing How to paint on a vase with Mod podge and Rit dye.
Color of your choice.
This is real life crafting here people.
I am not staging that for you:)
SUPPLIES:
Mod podge Matte finish or glossy whatever you prefer
Plain glass vase
{Dollar tree is my go to for these vases}
Sponge brush
Liquid Rit dye in your color preference.
Using the Sponge brush to painting on glass was wonderful.
Goes on smooth,
no runs
and you can go over several times to get perfect strokes
SOOOOOOO…
let me tell you the secret to painting on glass with mod podge and Rit dye.
There is NO mixing.
I learned that in my experiment.
Simply brush on the Mod podge as I mentioned earlier,
I did TWO coats
and in between the first let it dry for about 30 minutes.
Then
I took my Rit dye
straight up from the bottle
poured it in a small cup
and painted straight up on top of the DRIED mod podge.
Can you hear the angels singing???
I did:)
It was just that simple!
I still can’t believe no one else ever thought of this?
But glad I did.
I have 26 more bottle and colors to work with…lots of experiments in my future.
thanks for stopping over today!

September 3 at 12:20 pmIt’s painted on the outside ? Does it need baked to protect it from water drips?
debbiedoo's says
September 3 at 12:22 pmYes, it is painted on the outside, and NO no bake, you can spray some poly to protect if you wish…that works great!

Sandy says
September 3 at 9:37 pmThat project rocks! I’ve never used modge podge. Boy am I behind when it comes to crafting! Must be that full-time that I used to work at for 18 years. Now that I have time, I’ll have to try it. I can completely redo my vases now to match my decor! You make it look so easy.

September 4 at 11:40 amI love that orange colour, so autumn! And how easy is this project? I almost picked up some Rit dye at Michaels the other day, but couldn’t make up my mind on what colour to get and my cart was already 1/2 full. I have to get some, your projects are so amazing!
Debbie 🙂
