An Easy and Awesome Way To Paint Ceramics And Upcycle Thrift Store Decor

Share it with others!

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 Materials:

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.
