I started out with only two colors. To make your Patina look authentic use green or blue colors. I use a deep teal and a light blue. I mixed it with the magic powder and poured it on two separate paper plates. You don’t need much paint. I made ¼ cup for each to do this vase and still had some left over.
This literally took me 10 minutes to finish this project. It’s so easy a 10-year-old could do this. In fact, this would be a great project for the kiddos this summer.
Here’s what you need a sea sponge and a spray bottle with water. Rip a small piece of the sponge, get it wet and wring out the water. This will make the fingers soft. Next, lightly dab the sponge in one of your colors and dab it on the vase. Lightly mist it as you apply the chalk type paint. Not to much or it will wash off. Go back and forth with the colors until they start to blend together. It’s OK if it’s runny. That’s what gives it that patina look. Make sure you leave some area open so you can see the background of the vase.
