Up-Cycled Ceramic Boot Vase/Flower Pot

March 18, 2019

This ceramic, flowered, burgundy colored boot vase was my mom's.

I thought it was pretty cool, but I wanted to give it a makeover with my style.

It's about 14" tall.

First, I brushed on two coats of Fusion Mineral Paint in Coal Black.

I used a Zibra brush to minimize the brush strokes. A sponge brush would work pretty well too.

I did not distress the paint at all.

I used this Hampton Art Stencil from Joann Fabrics again.

I taped the word "Organic" onto the both sides of the boot and pounced on the lettering with Fusion Mineral Paint in Champlain.

I very lightly sanded the stenciling with 220 grit sandpaper, applying very light pressure. I did this just to make the stenciling a little more transparent.

Since this vase/flowerpot will be used indoors, I didn't use any sealer. Fusion Mineral Paint is self sealing.
