How To Paint A Heart Vase
Hand-Painting Heart Vase
I’m hand-painting a heart vase today. The vase I’m making has scattered hearts in three sizes. I created heart-shaped stencils to use. I’m painting the vase with multi-surface acrylics. Once completed I will bake the vase in the oven. The paint will harden and become permanent. I can fill the vase with water and not worry about the paint coming off. It will become dishwasher safe top shelf. However, I suggest hand washing to retain the beauty of the paint colors.
I bought the 7″ vase from Dollar Tree. The paints can be purchased at Michael’s Craft store. I used FolkArt Multi-Surface or enamel paints. I’m using berry wine, engine red and 14k gold colors. I am loving these paints. They work really well with my new glass painting hobby.
It’s funny the first thing my mom said is “I love that!, Where’s mine!”.

Let’s get Started
Clean vase with alcohol to remove fingerprint oils and dirt. Tape stencil to vase. Pounce brush red paint on inside of stencil.
Remove the stencil to reveal the heart design.
I painted a gold border around the heart.
Next, paint the neck of the vase red.
Paint gold polk a dots around the neck of the vase. I also painted a gold border around the rim and the bottom edge of the red paint.
Paint the bottom of the vase red. Allow to fully dry.
Add gold dots around the bottom edge of the red paint.
Completed Heart Vase
I will finish this vase off with either a red or gold organza ribbon bow around the neck of the vase for an extra flare. I haven’t decided if I want to fill it with glass marble and flowers or a paper filler with flowers.
