Giving a Metal Pot an Aged Look With Paint

Total Time: 2 hours

Supplies:

• spray paint - light blue,
• craft paints: cream, light gray, and light tan
• sea sponge

 

 

Steps:

1. Clean your pot.

 
2. With the pot cleaned, apply base paint with light blue spray paint. Dry. Spray a second coat of paint. Dry.

 
3. With your craft paints and sea sponge (works the best), put a small amount of paint on paper or paper plate and lightly dab into colors. Tap it onto paper to make sure it is not too heavy for the piece and use one color at a time. Lightly tapping gives that worn look of vintage.

The results are beautiful, but it looks as if you used a brand new pot. I hope you didn't.
