Sometimes all you need is a small change to revamp something you already have! Just like this blue vase, that looks new with some paint in a few minutes. Easy and quick craft idea.
Painted spring vase
Have a nice old vase at home? Give it a instant fresh look.
All you need is Paint
Don’t you just adore this beautiful red-shaded Dahlia! Me too.
I had this blue vase which was super excited to see the light! Well actually this poor thing had been lying in the cupboard, forgotten for too long. So, I decided to refresh it’s look.
To upcycle this vase I used:
- Paint (any paint will do I used fabric paint because it is water proof.)
- Water
- Brush (size 0)
Next just dab the brush in paint and make arrows facing downwards on the sides of the vase.
If you want them all to look similar, you can draw before you paint with a pencil. I like the freehand look!
Here’s how the painted spring vase looks!
This is also a good idea to enhance the shape of the vase.
So the vase goes from ordinary to cute and artistic with just a few strokes.
You can also spray paint the vase to match your decor before painting the sides.
The arrows can be substituted with polka dots, stars, diamonds and so much more.

I love how you made the vase look as if it was stitched and the flower is gorgeous! 🙂
Yes! I love before and after photos! So nice to see how far the project came! Such a pretty vase!
HI Hani, I love the shape of the vase. It is very interesting. Tthe new art work really pepped it up. Now it doesnt look so plain. I think it is very lovely and what a smart idea. Makes me want to rumble through my own cabinets for a neat vase to work on. You always make the most interesting things. Keep up the good work.
