Urn Makeover

I had these lovelies urns that I used in my sweet girls birthday party and I just wanted to age them a bit. So, I took out my trusty Martha Living Metallic Glaze in Muscovado. Let me tell you, it turned these bright yellow urns to a vintage WOW! Take a look!

I changed my mind in using the gold metallic paint by FolkArt.
Once I spread the glaze I waited about 8 minutes before I wiped it off. Used a lint free cloth when wiping the glaze off. I also used my fingers to rubbed in the glaze into all the nooks and crannies.
Here is my lovely urn in all her glory! : )

I just love how the urns turned out and of course I am not done with them, so come by and see what I add to these lovelies next. Thanks for stopping by and I LOVE to HEAR from you, so leave a comment. Have a great weekend.

Hugs,
Vanessa

    Vanessa, it's lovely; looks like it has just enough of the gold metallic peeking through the cracks.
