An Easy and Awesome Way To Paint Ceramics And Upcycle Thrift Store Decor
Did you know you can paint ceramics? I found this ceramic bunny at the thrift store for $1 and I knew just how I wanted to upcycle him so he’d look like he was from Pottery Barn!

Paint Ceramics instructions:
I washed my ceramic piece and removed the tags from it along with any sticky residue. I followed the directions on the can and spray-painted my bunny. I used Krylon Looking Glass spray paint. I would recommend a paint with a built-in primer.
I followed the instructions for the time between additional coats. Once I got the look I wanted, I let it dry completely.
My bunny was finished. Pretty easy right? What I love about this particular ceramic bunny is that it is a cotton ball dispenser.
What an easy way to make over thrift store decor, and create designer decor on a budget.
I am very happy with the way it turned out.
I made a buddy for him that you might be interested in checking out as well. You can find that tutorial at How To Paint On Ceramics, Easy and Beautiful Upcycled Thrift Store Bunny

That is the coolest thing! My bathroom is decorated with cats, now I must make an exception. I looked for one on eBay and found one! not a dollar though. Still, thank you for sharing. ~ Amber
