How to do a ceramic vase at home?
- Tools: Cylinder glass vase, white clay, acrylic roller, clay cutter, acrylic paint, brush, baking soda, an old cookie cutter or glass, sandpaper, hot glue gun, glue sticks, cookie sheet lined with parchment paper.
Directions:

- Cut out half-moons. Once you have your clay rolled out, using your cookie cutter or glass, cut 3 circles out of your rolled clay. Using your clay cutter or knife, cut your circles into semi-circles or half-moons as I like to call them.
- Bake the clay. After you have your half-moons cut, you then bake them on parchment paper according to the clay package instructions. Once your half-moons are baked and cooled, check to see if you need to sand down the flat side with sandpaper and sand down to ensure it is flat as you’ll be gluing it to your vase.
- Glue half-moons into the vase. Using your glue gun, glue your half-moons onto your vase starting from the bottom and working your way up in a row.
- Finish off the vase. Our last step is to paint the vase, you can paint it using a mix of acrylic paint with baking soda which gives your paint a grainy texture and will give your vase that pottery finish look.
How to upcycle a secondhand pottery vase?
- Make sure your ceramic is clean and dry
- Paint your base colors first. It may take a few coats. If you make a mistake, use a damp cloth to wipe away the paint before it dries.
- Add details. You can do this with a smaller brush or fine nib paint pens. Let each layer dry between the painting, this will give you a smoother surface. Be gentle when handling your ceramic at this point because the paint can scratch off.
- Once you’ve finished painting, let your ceramic dry for a few hours.
- Spray the ceramic with a gloss spray. This adds a protective coat so the paint is fixed on and leaves a shiny glossy finish. Leave to dry for 24 to 48 hours before displaying.
