The natural texture of clay is so popular right now and it is a medium that really appeals to me. I love the wholesome feeling of non perfect rustic surfaces.
These tutorials all show you how to make a fake or faux clay vase or pot for your home decorations. One of my favorite things about making your own fake clay pots is the thrifting from old vases to new. One of these clay pot tutorials even uses a teapot and it is simply stunning!
Clay pots can be used to decorate all different house decor styles, from boho, to beachy and elegant. Depending on the color of paint you use, you can really turn the style of your creations. I love a salmon-colored pot but you can paint your clay pot whatever color you like using Acrylic paints and the secret ingredient for the best most realistic fake clay pot is Bi carb soda.
The soda gives the paint a thick texture that dries like chalk paint for a flat non glossy finish to your clay pot design.

How To Paint A Vase –
Vases are a staple in any home decoration, but sometimes finding the perfect one to match your decor style can be difficult and expensive. Why not transform a plain vase into a unique and beautiful piece with a DIY paint job? In this article, we’ll guide you through the steps of how to paint vases to look like pottery. This is a fun and creative project that can be completed in just a few hours, and you’ll end up with a one-of-a-kind piece to show off in your home.
Materials you will need:
- Glass vase
- Sandpaper
- Primer
- Acrylic paint
- Paintbrushes
- Wax or sealant
- Optional: sponge for texture
Step 1: Prepare the vase Start by washing and drying the vase. Next, use sandpaper to rough up the surface. This will allow the primer to adhere better and will also give your paint a surface to grip to. Wipe away any dust with a damp cloth and let the vase dry completely.
Step 2: Apply primer Apply a thin layer of primer to the entire vase. Allow the primer to dry completely, following the manufacturer’s recommended time.
Step 3: Paint the vase Using your acrylic paint and a bi carb mix, begin painting the vase in the color of your choice. For a pottery look, use a textured sponge to dab the paint onto the surface. You can also use a brush to achieve a more detailed pattern. Let the paint dry completely.
Step 4: Add detail If you’d like, you can add detail to your vase by using a smaller brush to paint on designs. You can mimic the look of pottery by painting on lines or dots, or you can add your own designs to make the vase truly unique.
Step 5: Seal the paint Once you’re happy with your design, use a wax or sealant to protect the paint. This will also give your vase a glossy finish that resembles pottery. Let the sealant dry completely before handling the vase.
And that’s it! With just a few simple steps, you’ve transformed a plain vase into a beautiful and unique piece that looks like pottery. Display your new vase in your home and enjoy the compliments from friends and family.
