Title: Exploring Trendy Craft Techniques: A Fun Day with Texturizing Methods

As I embarked on this fun day of crafting, I decided to explore three trendy texturizing methods that are taking the world by storm. My goal was to transform a plain vase into a unique piece of art, and I'm excited to share my experience with you.

My first method was baking soda painting, which is a great option for those who want to achieve a rustic, terracotta-like finish. I started by mixing baking soda with paint in a ratio that I found worked well – the right amount of baking soda makes it difficult to get a smooth coat. So, I applied a thin layer of this mixture to my vase and let it dry completely before adding another coat for an extra textured look. To be honest, I was pleasantly surprised by how beautiful the finish turned out! It's almost impossible to distinguish from real terracotta, and I love the texture that it adds.

The second method I tried was spackle painting, which requires a bit more patience and effort. Before applying the spackle, I wore gloves and made sure my workspace was well-ventilated – this medium can be quite messy! To apply the spackle, I used a palette knife or putty knife to spread it evenly onto my vase. At first, it was a bit tricky to smooth out the texture with just a knife, but once I dropped the knife and tried to shape it with my hands, the result was surprisingly beautiful. However, I found that achieving a perfectly even finish can be challenging, especially if you're new to this technique. Adding water to the spackle before applying might help create a smoother surface, which is something I plan to try next time.

Last but not least, I experimented with textured stone spray paint. This method was a bit more straightforward than the others, and I loved how easy it was to achieve a beautiful, speckled finish. With just one light coat of the textured spray paint, I achieved an aged ceramic look that's perfect for adding a touch of rustic charm to any piece of art. What I like most about this method is its versatility – you can use it on various surfaces beyond glass and ceramics.

As I finished up my crafting session, I was thrilled with the results from all three methods. Each technique brought something unique and beautiful to the table, and I'm excited to incorporate them into future projects. Whether you're a seasoned crafter or just starting out, these texturizing methods are sure to inspire creativity and experimentation. So next time you're at a yard sale or thrift store, keep an eye out for pieces that catch your eye – with these techniques, you can easily transform them into stunning works of art.

My experience was not only fun but also cost-effective, as I used materials I already had at home. For just $0.50, I transformed a plain vase into a beautiful piece of art using baking soda and paint, which I've decided to reuse in the future. The sample pot of paint and the vase themselves were worth every penny – now, I have an amazing large terracotta vase that I know I'll use again and again.

In conclusion, exploring these trendy texturizing methods was a delightful experience that allowed me to tap into my creative side and push the boundaries of what's possible with ordinary materials. Whether you're looking for a new way to decorate your home or simply want to explore your artistic side, I highly recommend giving these techniques a try.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enhey friends welcome back to handmade at home i'm danielle by now i'm sure many of you have seen the trash to terracotta projects all around the internet i have been amazed by the results and i wanted to give it a try myself now if you don't know what i'm talking about when i say trash to terra cotta basically all you do is you add texture a lot of people use baking soda or baking powder to the paint of your choosing but there are several different ways to go about this and you paint it on to your glassware maybe pottery pieces that you picked up that you really like the shape but you don't really like the pattern and you paint it on and it gives it this beautiful ceramic finish today i'm testing three different methods that i've seen on the internet to give these glass vases a beautiful ceramic finish most of the items that i'm going to use are basic household products that you probably have at home already i can't take the suspense any longer let's turn these glass faces from trash to terracotta you may have noticed i've got a lot of glassware sitting right in front of me i went to the thrift store yesterday and i got all of this for under 10 glass vases like these i swear it's harder not to find them than to find them i think these are the vases that you get when someone sends you flowers and then they just end up at the thrift store but they are everywhere at any thrift store and they're usually not more than 50 cents i really loved the shape of this one it's really heavy and you can tell it's good quality i tried to find a couple of interesting pieces i love this little guy i thought this had a nice shape on it so anyways i just loaded up a cart as you can see under ten dollars and this is what i'm going to use to test the trash to terracotta painting technique first things first we're going to do a little prep work start by sanding down your glass spaces with a fine grit sandpaper or sanding block this will help give your glass a little bit of grit and the paint will adhere better for these vases i'm sticking with an earthy warm terracotta palette this project is great for using up all of those sample pots of paint you might have lying around first up head to your pantry and grab the baking soda mixing baking soda with paint is definitely the method i've seen go around the internet the most so i'm hopeful for good results i'm starting with roughly one cup of paint and three tablespoons of baking soda the more baking soda you add the more texture you're gonna have after you add your baking soda be sure to give it a good stir and get it mixed in really well you'll instantly see that it thickens up you can tell just by looking at it what kind of texture it's going to have i want a bit more texture so i'm going to add one more tablespoon of baking soda now for the fun part start painting one thing i learned pretty quickly is that you do want to work in nice thin coats because this does glob up pretty easily once you've covered your vase in the first coat of baking soda and paint let it dry once dry give it one more nice thin coat to cover i think this is beautiful it was the first method i tried and i gotta say this one would be hard to beat i like the texture and it even feels like terracotta next i'm going to give spackle a try this is going to get a little bit messy so before applying the spackle make sure that you wear gloves and you're in a well ventilated area i feel like i can never use all the spackle in the container before it dries out so this feels like a good option for me i'm going to start by applying the spackle with a palette knife a putty knife will work just as well i love the way this is going on it's almost like spreading peanut butter i can tell this is going to have a lot of texture and i will say it's a bit hard to smooth out with the knife but now i'm going to drop the putty knife and just try smoothing it over with my hands so i'm going to let it dry i'd recommend letting it sit for a couple hours now that it's dry i do see i've got a lot of texture going on here next time i might even try adding a little bit of water to the spackle before i apply but let's give it a coat of paint and see how it turns out now my spackle layer is not perfectly smooth one thing that was helpful for me was to pounce my brush in certain areas where it was hard to get the paint after you have on your first coat let it dry i do like it it was a bit more texture than i was going for but i'm going to finish it up by adding one more thin coat of paint for my final tester method i'm going to try a coat of textured stone spray paint now you might not have this lying around your house but i've seen it at every single craft store i've ever gone to even the hardware store and you can easily order online i'm going to spray on a light coat i can see how it would be really easy to get carried away with the texture i don't want anything too crazy here so i'm just going to do one light coat i think this would be beautiful on glass or another project that you might be working on just as it is as i mentioned it does give a stone type texture but i'm hoping after i paint on a terracotta shade of paint that it will give you a ceramic terracotta vibe i have to say i really am liking the texture and how this is turning out i have spent the entire day painting and i am ready to share my thoughts this was a really fun project and i think i got beautiful results overall i think that baking soda was my favorite as far as timing goes i could do this method all in one step i just mix the baking soda with the paint and then paint it on i think the finish and the texture are beautiful i swear you can really barely tell the difference i used baking soda that i had at home i bought a sample pot of paint and a vase for 50 cents now i have this beautiful large terracotta vase that i know i'm gonna use again and again for about five bucks next is the textured spray paint honestly i thought this would be my least favorite but i really like it and it was very easy i could see how if you aren't careful to spray a very thin coat that it could be a little too much but with a thin coat i think it's perfect and it adds just enough texture and last but not least is the spackle method the spackle is the one that i had the most trouble with and i will admit it could have just been user error i think things would have gone a little bit better had i added a little bit of water to the spackle and then put on the paste i think it might have been a little smoother you're going to get more of an aged ceramic look which i which i do like it wasn't quite what i was going for here i plan to try this again and like i said add a little water to the spackle and i have a feeling my results are going to be a bit better but i'm still happy with this overall i'm so glad that i tried out this trending craft it was a lot of fun and now anytime i'm at the yard sale or thrifting and i see a piece that i love the shape of but not exactly the look of i know that i can dress it up with one of these three quick and easy texturizing techniques thank you so much for watching i hope you enjoyed this video as always don't forget to like and subscribe we'll see you next time byehey friends welcome back to handmade at home i'm
