Very original recipe. Thanks for sharing the video. As soon as I find Plaster of Paris (or an equivalent) I'm going to try this out. At first tomorrow will be coffee grind drying time.

Looks like a great technique. Can what has not been used be stored in an airtight container?

[@OurUpcycledLife]

It doesn't have a very good shelf life so I try and mix up just what i need. Thanks for watching

Thank you great idea.

Thanks for watching Mary!

[@angcrivellone]

I have to ask, always wondered... Why do you need to use plaster of paris? What does it bring to the "recipe"? Why not just add the coffee, sand, etc straight to the paint and skip the plaster of paris all together?

[@OurUpcycledLife]

It makes it very durable

[@stephaniechilds2932]

Well I will be saving my husbands coffee grounds now! LOL

[@OurUpcycledLife]

Start saving ☕️

[@adobeblue4360]

Hi. I love your projects but often the videos do not show a finished product (i.e. a product with something in it or on a shelf, etc.). It helps with inspiration to see how you would use this vase, for instance, finished. Can you include that in your videos where appropriate?

[@susanmandreger8577]

You stated being able to use this method on wood, glass or ceramic. I assume it also works on resin or plastic, yes? This would make some cheap planting pots look so good.

[@kristinacleveland1805]

Great video! Have you seen videos of people using the IOD stamps and air dry clay to create moulds for crocks and jars? I would love to see a 'hack' for that. I know you can do it!!!!

[@OurUpcycledLife]

I haven’t ever tried that technique 🌸 I’m gonna look into it

[@josieadamo2287]

Could you mix this with paint mixed with baking soda instead of paint mixed with plaster of paris?

[@OurUpcycledLife]

Thanks for watching ❤️ I have mixed with baking soda and it worked really good so give it a try

[@mlsl218wc]

I am so excited to see all of your various crafts on your channel and can hardly wait to try many of them. You are really great with your instruction and so enthusiastic with everything you make. Thank you for showing us all your crafts.

[@OurUpcycledLife]

Thanks for watching 🌸 I don’t have any pots left to paint!! Lol... need to find more

[@ZombieQueen819]

Question,,, if I have any of the paint left over with the plaster of Paris can I save that or do I have to throw it away ???. Thank you for your time and your help

[@OurUpcycledLife]

It will save for a little bit if you store in a tightly sealed container in a dark spot. If it thickens a bit you can add a bit of water before you use again

[@junewilliams592]

So simple and yet so beautifully effective. Love your instructions. So clear and precise. Thank you and God bless.

Hello from Canada! Glad you are enjoying my video

[@MyValP]

I have a large broken urn in garden that we have glued back together but wanted to texture paint it, do I use the same process for coffee grind and can it be made watertight? Thank you, Val… I want to paint it black but don’t mind highlighting any visible cracks in gold, Japanese repair style

[@OurUpcycledLife]

If using this technique and want outdoors you would have to deal really well with an outdoor sealer

[@ondinadixon1875]

WOW ! Just ❤️ that Recipe and How it turned out👏👍 Have you ever used it on furniture 🤔would ❤️ to see that 😜

[@OurUpcycledLife]

Thanks for watching ❤️I haven’t but I’m sure it would work good 🌸

[@kimberlyholland1972]

Hi deidre I'm getting ready to upcycle a lamp of my mommas would this work on that and do the granules dissolve in the mixture at all? Would you recommend this or the sand on a very old lamp??

[@OurUpcycledLife]

I actually like the sand better and it is more durable, especially if you have to dust it

[@ffgundes]

Hello! I want to apply this technique to my plastic flower pots. How can I make it waterproof? Or is this a bad idea? Have you ever tried it?

[@OurUpcycledLife]

I don’t think it would stand up very well works best on a Ceramic or wood surface

[@suzannehurst4805]

So are you using coffee grinds (unused ground coffee beans) or coffee grounds (used coffee)?

[@paintedstars2]

I'm wondering what would happen if you used coffee grounds that HAVENT been brewed? I'm getting the impression from the instructions given here that the grounds ARE TO BE USED. I suspect that by adding fresh grounds to a paint that is a lighter color it might darken it? If that's the case I suppose once it's dry on your project you could repaint with the lighter color you desire over the top? The other possibility is the oils from the coffee grounds are generally expelled during the brew process...IDK, might be overthinking this 🤣 its not that serious so I guess I try it on a pasta jar and see!

[@OurUpcycledLife]

Exactly

[@OurUpcycledLife]

Used grounds

[@michellepadilla7847]

I used unused coffee grounds and loved how it turned out on my vases.

[@irenemcknight5020]

If your slow worker, does the POP begin to harden before you can finish the vase ?

[@OurUpcycledLife]

No, we shouldn’t Harden that quickly

[@MactasticChiTown]

Coffee grounds not grinds.

[@josimpson7999]

Just a thought - I’m curious as to why you didn’t apply the paint mix to the inside of the neck which still showed the original colour and smooth texture?

[@leisacarnahan7647]

Will this work on glass?

[@OurUpcycledLife]

Yes

[@leisacarnahan7647]

@@OurUpcycledLife Great! I am going to be trying it.

[@jackiek8141]

Does it have to be used grounds and if so can I just strain some with hot water? I don’t drink coffee

[@OurUpcycledLife]

Yes, that would work. You just don’t want to put the grounds in that haven’t been used because I have too much colour in them.

[@mariacorrall]

Iliken thank you

[@εχεφρων]

i wish i knew this i bought salt wash in order to do the same you did with coffee ....so expensive..can i add to my paint only coffee grind with out plaster???

[@OurUpcycledLife]

Thanks for watching ❤️ glad to help out. Yes you can but if you don’t add plaster of Paris you won’t have the durability and chalky finish

[@εχεφρων]

thank you so much i ll try both ways ...why not..xxxxx

[@mastiffmom2592]

I’m waiting on the plaster of Paris to come from Amazon. I have bottles and jars ready as well as sand and coffee grinds. Is this the video that you were talking about getting no streaks in the paint?

[@stephaniewilliams3383]

Do you have to use used coffee grounds or can you use fresh grounds?

[@OurUpcycledLife]

Thanks for watching ❤️ I like to use coffee grounds . If you use fresh coffee the coffee will leak colour when you paint and change colour

[@lindadavisl6914]

Thank you for your fast reply I love your channel

Why plaster of Paris and not baking soda?

[@derekduncan264]

I mixed coffee grounds with water (boiled 1 part coffee to 2 part water, added it all to acrylic paint and mixed it 1 to 1 ratio.) turned out great!! I have some paris plaster laying around so I may try this method out!

[@OurUpcycledLife]

That's a great idea!

[@tamaramorton8812]

New subscriber here! I like this technique and look but I think I might like the one using sand better. I don’t know but I’m glad I found you and it looks like you’re doing some things that I would really like so thank you. 👍🏼😊

[@OurUpcycledLife]

Thanks for subbing!

[@carolhalpin481]

Another great tutorial....I'm glad I found you! Are either the sand or the coffee grind recipe durable enough to be used outdoors? As in Florida? Thankyou :-)

[@OurUpcycledLife]

So glad you found me. Thanks for following along this technique I’m not sure if it would hold up outside and a lot of humidity. It’s probably best if you’re going to use this paint recipe to do it on an indoor project.

[@cadoo5591]

I tried this recipe on a vase and it turned out great! I see why you like to do it in white, my Behr version of "Duck egg blue" is kind of turning green with the coffee grinds. Still, it adds "age" to it. I used calcium carbonate vs Plaster of Paris because that's what I use for my chalk paint, I followed the same measurements and it worked! Thanks for the great idea!

[@OurUpcycledLife]

That's awesome ! I love the effect. Thanks for watching

[@maxc5012]

Thanks I'm about to make a diy large mushroom 🍄 floor lamp( everything salvage from the curb) and I was looking to add some tick texture to the paint for the base.

[@OurUpcycledLife]

Perfect!

[@CambryBlaze]

Can I use baking powder instead of plaster of paris?

[@OurUpcycledLife]

If you use baking powder it will give a different affect than the plaster of Paris

[@CambryBlaze]

@@OurUpcycledLife 😊 Thanks! I ordered the plaster of Paris and can't wait to try this one. 😍

[@lindadavisl6914]

Do you have to use coffee grounds that have been used or can you use fresh coffee grounds thank you

[@OurUpcycledLife]

Thanks for watching! You can use fresh grinds but you will get a dark brown colour leak thru your paint and change colour a lot more.

[@marisinfarb6258]

Where do you sell your creations, the wooden signs?

[@OurUpcycledLife]

[@joeandjennphilips-schoknec8212]

I only drink instant coffee.... so no grounds for me. But, I do like a fruity loose leaf tea that I brew daily for iced tea. I'm going to try to dry the leaves after making my pot and grind them to coffee ground consistency. It's going to smell so good!!!

[@OurUpcycledLife]

Yes that will work!

[@trialsbikeguy]

Go to Starbucks or any local coffee shop. Ask to have their used coffee grinds. Most will gladly give you more than you wish for.
