1st item, if you do want to put real flowers in it, just place another smaller vase inside for holding water and flowers

👉👉👉 this is somewhat off topic but may be helpful to some. I have stenciled 100’s of things….walls, ceilings, doors…etc….to keep brushes from flaying simply wind a small rubber band (think bands for mouth braces)very near the end of your bristles……..remove for washing ….when brush is almost dry reapply the rubber band for the next project and to keep bristles from completely drying in frayed position. Use a small amount of laundry soap to clean brushes when painting with acrylic paint. The soap will leave a thin film on the bristles and they will be easier to clean the next time. NEVER set brushes on the bristles. Store brushes standing on their handles or laying flat. When long term storing, I keep them in a closed tackle box with moisture absorbers. Another hint, because I am often standing on a ladder or scaffolding I need a free hand to balance myself. As you are aware one needs something clean and dry to remove excessive paint from your brush. I simply use a medium size rubber band to attach either a paper towel or old wash cloth around my non-dominant wrist, turning it on the wrist as it becomes soiled. Replacing it when necessary. Hope these hints are helpful 🧑🏻‍🎨🎨

Very nice. But I notice lately that the last project is cut off just before a final reveal.

When I work with Gold Leafing I pick up small pieces of it with a pencil eraser to place it on my project. That way, it doesn't stick to your fingers and you don't waste any of it. And I save all of the scraps to be used on another project. You can also use Mod Podge to apply it. And a coat of it over the gold leafing to seal it. The white vase is beautiful! Nice work and great ideas!

Well, that second project turned out lovely. I guess.

[kathejohnson]

You explain the steps wonderfully. Thank you. God bless.

[levonsynclr]

would have liked to see the second project when completed...???

[jacquiericard]

Unbelievably fantastic glass vase with the gold & white chalk.

When I look at a YT video about anything, what often determines when I view it, is its length, so realizing it has a second video to complete the second craft, I will try to check it out later, but the flow retained from the first video going into the second one will make it feel incomplete also.

Very elegant. TFS🙏👍🤣🌹🌼God Bless you both.

This turned out very nicely. I’ve wanted to try the gold but changed my mind. After this I’m going to reconsider the idea.

[petersanders]

Nice. Keep it coming.. Alway's amazing what a person, with a bit of flair, can make from such everyday items.

Folks .. do yourself a favor and set your playback speed at 2x ... wish the speed option was at least 4x!

You need to show it until you take off the stencil. This is kind of frustrating not seeing the final result.

[FatGayandTired]

All you have to do is seal the vase and you can use water.
