Transforming Your Vase: Step-by-Step Guide

DIY Serena & Lily Dupe Vase: Gather Your Supplies

• 2″ Mini Angle Paint Brush (Dixie Belle Paint Company has amazing brushes).
• $10 Glass Canister (Dimensions Overall: 9.54 Inches (H) x 7 Inches (W) x 7 Inches (D))
• Dixie Belle’s Slick Stick
• Silk All-In-One Mineral Paint in White Cap by Dixie Belle Paint Company
• Frog Tape

1. Creating A Clean Line

It is important to run your finger around the edge of the tape. Frog Tape will give you a nice crisp clean line with no bleed-through when properly adhered to the glass.

2. Apply Slick Stick

Dixie Belle’s Slick Stick is a bonding agent that will help paint adhere to glass, metal, and slick surfaces. You can even paint PVC, laminate, and other slippery surfaces.

It is easiest to turn the glass canister upside down. Apply a generous coat of Slick Stick around the area where you want the paint to adhere to the surface.

This step is important, you must let the Slick Stick dry for at least 2-3 hours before applying the second coat.

3. Apply The Second Coat of Slick Stick

Apply the second and final coat of the Slick Stick. After the second coat, you MUST ALLOW IT TO DRY FOR 24 HOURS before painting.

If you rush this project, the paint will not properly adhere and will peel or crack.

4. Applying The Paint

For this project, Silk All-In-One Mineral Paint in the color Whitecap was used. This paint has a built-in primer, paint, and top coat. It is also self-leveling for a smooth surface.

Apply two coats of paint over the Slick Stick painted area. Allow the first coat to dry for at least 2 hours before applying the final coat. After the second you need let it to dry for 24 hours before using it as a vase. You will need to let the paint to cure.
