Valentine’s Day is only days away!
If you’re still searching for a gift — or if you’re looking “paint the house” red with décor —Martha Stewart has three DIY ideas for you.
Materials needed:
- Acrylic craft paint
- Liquid gold
- Paint brushes
- Stencils
- Stencil tape
- Ceramic bud vases
Instructions:
- Using the stencil tape, mask off a line around the vase.
- Apply two coats of paint or liquid gold, then remove tape once dry.
- To add a little extra flair, place an adhesive stencil on the face in the letter or shape of your choosing. Apply two coats of paint (a different color than what you painting the vase originally).
- Remove the stencil and let dry.
- Add a flower and enjoy!
