Weathered Pewter Vase

Metallic Washed Tissue Paper, a Raw Goods paper mache Vase, and a bit of paint and you have something that looks like it came from an art gallery. We love this for the dried wildflower bouquets we gather, the colors in the vase’s surface echoing the subtle shades of the dried summer blooms.

(the following are not part of the Kit:)
White, water soluble glue
Acrylic craft paints, black, olive green, khaki, plum, teal

1.
Distress Metallic Tissue Paper by gently wadding and wrinkling, then straighten back out and tear into pieces, tearing all straight edges off.
2.
Make your "glueter" by mixing white, water soluble glue with water (about 60-70% glue).
3.
Dip the pieces of Metallic Tissue into the "glueter" and start applying the pieces onto the Raw Goods Vase, overlapping edges and working all edges down flat.
4.
Allow vase to dry overnight.
5.
Apply small spots of slightly watered down black paint onto your vase, and work the paint into the creases and crackles on the vase surface. Continue doing this until you have the degree of "aging" that you want, being sure to keep the darkening irregular over the surface.
6.
Using your paint brush , dab bits of different colors onto the vase, then dip paintbrush in clear water and add to the paint dabs, allowing the colors to run and mix.
7.
Allow to dry. A sealant can be applied if desired. These come in matte, satin, semi gloss and high gloss finishes.
8.
Enjoy!
 
  
 
1.
When working toward the bottom of the vase, set it up on a jar or something that is
stable, but has a narrower base that the vase.
2.
Left over "glueter" can be poured into a jar to be used again later.
3.
A mist bottle is handy to use while your paint is still wet to help create runs and drips.
