Knock Off Anthropologie Vases
I'm excited because today is Do-It-Over-Designers Day!!
If you are new, the Do-It-Over-Designers is a group of my blogging friends and me. We get together and challenge ourselves to find something old or unused and "do it over" into something new. We find our items in closets, barns, garages, yard sales, thrift stores, you name it!
I will share my project and then at the end, I'll link to all my friends' projects and you can check out what they've made too!

I love to scroll through the home section of the Anthropologie website for inspiration. One of their brands is Terrain which is all things gardening as well as things like vases, wreaths, silk flower arrangements, etc.
Check out the wreath I duped: DIY Anthropologie Heart Wreath Dupe
They have some really pretty colored glass vases that I wanted to see if I could recreate on my own.
These are some of their vases.
I hope that you enjoyed this project. If you did, please consider sharing it!

Oh wow, Tania! You are after my own heart! I made clear plastic candlesticks using ornaments and wanted to color them. I first got the idea from some I saw on the Terrain site! I actually tried alcohol inks on small plastic plates but didn't like how the ink settled. I used sponges, paint brushes and spray bottles. Thanks to you, now I know what to use and how to do it - cotton balls! I love how your vases turned out! So pretty and perfect!
ReplyDeleteThank you Gail, yes cotton balls are the way to go!!
DeleteI love this kind of glass vase but you are right, most of the hacks to make them seem complicated, messy or just not very good. This is super easy and even if it does come off after a few uses it would be easy enough to just do again wouldn't it?
ReplyDeleteThank you and yes, it only took a few minutes! I'll have to experiment with sealing one and see what happens.
DeleteYour vases look like they should be right there with the Anthropologie ones! I love when we can replicate pricey items for next to nothing.
ReplyDeleteThank you Allyson!
DeleteThe best tricks are the easiest ones! What an upgrade! I’m amazed they covered so evenly. Must try this out. - Rachel
ReplyDeleteSo true! Thank you Rachel!
DeleteNow I regret all the vases I've gotten rid of!! These look so beautiful, and you can't beat this for easy! Thanks for this tip.
ReplyDeleteThank you! There are lots more cheap vases to be had ;)
DeleteWow, the outcome of these vases is spectacular! The coverage is so pretty and even. This would be fun to try on mason jars!
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteThank you!
DeleteI always love a good Anthro dupe! I had never heard of alcohol ink but now I am inspired to try it out. Your vases turned out lovely. I think they are WAY better than anything from Anthropologie. Thank you for sharing your post on the Home Imagined Link party.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much Anna!
