DIY Marble and Copper Vase | Common Sparrows
This is an old post archived from Exodus Treasures.

I think my current favorite color scheme is black, white, and grey with copper accents.

I find myself wanting to make more and more projects with those colors so I’ve finally decided to give into temptation. these vases were an easy start.

Materials

  • Bottles

  • Paint Brushes

  • Black and Copper Paint

  • White Nail Polish

  • Plastic Tub

Step One

Paint your bottles black and let them dry.

Step Two

Cover the parts you don’t want to be marbled with masking tape.

Step Three

fill your tub with water and drip white nail polish into it (it should float on top.) Swirl the nail polish around with a toothpick or whatever; then dip your bottles in the nail polish swirl water. Make sure to let this dry – sometimes the water does weird things to the paint.

Step Four

Make a space for your strip of copper paint by adding masking tape a little above or below your marbled section.

Step Five

Paint your exposed sections with copper paint.

Step Six

Remove the tape. If your tape peels some of the black paint off (mine did), do a quick touchup.
