PREPARING THE VASES
1 Paint your vases white, even if they’re already white. The paint will act as an undercoat before you apply colour. Aim for two coats, leaving them to dry in-between.
2 Apply colour. Acrylic paints can leave brush marks, so ensure all your strokes are in the same direction. Long vertical lines will give you a neat finish. You’ll need to apply three to four coats to get a solid colour that really pops. If it gets tricky to handle your vase while it’s wet, pop it on a plate and move the plate around so you can access the full vase.
3 Spray varnish your vase. If it gets too thick, take a tissue and gently wipe away any excess varnish.
