DIY Valentine’s Day Vase Project Steps
Supplies You’ll Need:
- Vase
- Paint
- Paintbrush
- Paint Pen
- Flowers
01
Find Your Vase
Visit Goodwill NCW to find a vase that suits your style. With so many options, you’re bound to discover the perfect piece.
02
Prep Your Canvas
Clean your vase thoroughly to remove dust or residue. This will help your paint stick better.
03
Paint the Heart
Using your paintbrush, paint a heart in the center of the vase. You can freehand it or lightly sketch the shape with a pencil first. Let the heart dry completely before moving to the next step.
04
Add the Initials
Once the heart is dry, use your paint pen to write initials in the center of the heart. These could be your initials and your Valentine’s or even a sweet message like “XO.”
05
Draw the Arrow
Use the paint pen to draw an arrow piercing through the heart. Add a whimsical touch with details like fletching on the arrow’s tail and a simple arrowhead.
06
Let It Dry
Allow the vase to dry fully before handling or adding flowers. This ensures your design stays intact.
07
Finish with Flowers
Choose flowers that match the Valentine’s Day theme. Red roses, pink tulips, or even a mix of colorful blooms will make your vase stand out.
