Hi you guys! Some of you wanted to see how I DIY these thrifted pieces to look like aged pottery. Let me know if you have any questions, and let me know which is your favorite piece! Thank you for watching!

[@ritaking8827]

What kind of paint did you use?

[@bibivaldes1911]

Hi, I love your aged pieces and I would like to repeat the process ! Would you tell me the name of the material and how to mix it to get the texture ? Thank you very much ❤

[@daisygirrl1234]

My mother in law used to love to create aged vessels. She used to add coffee and cinnamon to pieces and it really gave it another much older effect

[@wendysmith6611]

I just stumbled across your video today while I was inside cooling off...let me just say WOW!! I am a crafter upcycler, thrifter, decorator...I'm follow several KZbin channels. But I'm VERY impressed with this one from you. I've watched multiple videos on how to get that aged earthenware, antique pottery look. Yours was really very good! For a couple reasons- you are easy to understand, to the point, very clear in your instructions and you show what your doing but not 25min of rambling on about it. I didn't FWD once! I'm going to check out the rest of your channel now! 👍🏻

One of the best DIY for vessels that I've seen. The lamp has exactly the look I'm hoping to achieve with my next project, so that was my favourite. You've given me the confidence to get to it. Thank you so much.

[@beckybox2596]

I love all of them, but if I had to chose, it is the last one. The compound gives softer movements and I like the lighter color. Good job, can’t wait til the next dyi!

[@natvtxn1213]

These are beautiful! You are so very talented. I attempted one pot. It was a major fail. F.A.I.L. I think I had too much baking soda and didn't blend enough. So envious of yours, they look like you bought them like that. ⚱

[@thisgirlathome]

Thank you! I know the mixture can be a little tricky to get used to, especially because it makes the paint dry so quickly. It helps if you have a damp paper towel handy. You can use that to smooth spots that aren’t blended well 🖤

[@smithaseetharam]

What paint , brand and color you used for this DIY thank you so much they look fabulous ❤

[@pamhall8475]

Great video, Chelsea! I so appreciate you sharing the process in such an in depth way. I have several pieces I want to use this techniques on. Also, I must apologize, I hit the dislike button by accident so it has been corrected. Thanks again for showing so much detail. Next warm sunny day, I plan to give it a try.😊

[@thisgirlathome]

Pam, thank you! It was a little tricky to edit because I know it probably felt a little repetitive because there are so many layers. And no worries on the button! ☺️🖤

[@MSL_60]

Nice transformation on "all" pieces! Gave me some great ideas. What if you used a "matte" finishing spray on the pieces? Less of a shine? or does it still come out a bit shiny?

[@kaye6118]

Me and Molly are saying, LOOKING GOOD 👍🤠🐕‍🦺🌈

[@marandawilson7583]

Had that exact small green one! I aged mine with whites and greys. It turned out beautiful, but sadly my cat knocked it over and broke it just a few days ago. I hope I can find another one. All of these look great!

[@thisgirlathome]

That sounds like cat mom life for sure lol. I hope you can find another one!

[@suewalton6267]

Wonderful video!! Thank you! I really like the pieces you chose. The shapes all transfer so pretty into "pottery"! Can you tell me what kind of paint you use? Does it matter?

[@thisgirlathome]

Thanks Sue! I just used what I had at home, which was craft paint and a sample of wall paint. As long as you avoid glossy paint you should be fine!

[@robertcornelius3514]

Hi. Nice video. Can you give me a bit more info on when an how to use the baking soda mixture? I also wonder if mixing it with water before adding it to paint would be helpful.

[@thisgirlathome]

Hi Robert! As long as your vessel is cleaned and dry you can use the baking soda mixture. Definitely do not use any water!! It will dilute your mixture and you’ll have a wet mess on your hands that won’t stick well. Just stick to the paint and baking soda.

[@lowcountryloft8105]

Nice! What is the name of the sealer?

[@vivik2783]

You did a great job! All of them look amazing but my favourite is the lamp! I loved the moody,rusty look of it. I just wanted to ask you if you used baking soda in the paint you used when blending the colours or was it just in the base coat? And did you use acrylic paint or the one we use on furniture or walls? Thank you!!!

[@thisgirlathome]

Thank you! ☺️ I used baking soda in all of the paint, even the accent colors. It keeps the texture consistent. I used both types of paint actually. It doesn’t make a difference which you use, I just used what I had on hand.

[@karentrischuk6903]

Love them!! What kind of paint did you use?

[@thisgirlathome]

Thank you! I just used what I had around, which was craft paint and a sample of wall paint. Just try to avoid using glossy paint and you’ll be good!

[@lg3012]

Hello: thanks for sharing this video. What kind of paint you use in which you mix the baking soda? Is this acrylic paint or something else? Thanks

[@terriesales]

Did you use acrylic paint? I love all the pieces. Ty for sharing.

Hi! What is the name and colour shade of the dark brown paint used in the reddish vase?

Hi would have loved if you could list the paint you used????

[@UIV7096]

Just beautiful!! I’ve been going around doing this to some of my old pots & vases I’m so glad I kept them and now I can decorate my new home.. Q?: is this color Rich Black by Folk Art Acrylic Paint? Lastly I’m using some clear matte Krylon flat spray paint to seal these diy’s after completing.. Is that ok to do? Thank you for sharing 🎉

[@thisgirlathome]

Thank you! I’m not certain which black it is, but I always choose the truest black I can find. It’s totally up to you if you want to seal your pieces, just use the seal in thin coats if you decide to do it!

[@kfie3731]

what paints you used?

[@terrizimmerman5297]

Do you cover the bottom and inside of each vessel too?

[@thisgirlathome]

It depends on the piece and what I’m using it for. If it’s for dried florals and you won’t see the inside, then no. I typically do the bottom with just a basic coat since you won’t see that either.
