Vase 1
Materials:

- chalk paint
- matte clear sealer
- dried reeds
- paper towel
Instructions:
Paint the vase with black spray paint. Once dry, using a paper towel, spread the brown dixie belle mud into the vase. First, spread it horizontally in a light layer. Then dab the mud into the top for a more random and abstract texture. Let it dry. Next, dab the chalk paint in random spots using a damp paper towel. Put darker shade along the base as this will give the appearance that it’s been in the dirt for years. Once dry, seal with a matte clear sealer. Place the dry reeds.
