Here’s an easy spring craft I recently created. I started with a coffee mug from a thrift store…
Apply some sandpaper or other scratchy material to give some grit to the finish so it will hold some paint.
Next, apply some glaze with a sponge brush and then wipe off with a paper towel. Here is the glaze I use:
Applying the glaze will give the cup a bit of a distressed and aged look like this:
I grabbed my acrylic paint (color = Buttercrunch) and used a dry brush to create even more layers…
Doesn’t it look more weathered now? Just the look I wanted. Next, I filled it with some brown straw and a bird.
Tweet. Tweet.
Nice as is, but even better in a group of spring decor…
