Faux Concrete Urn Upcycle: Fridays at Home

Thank God it's thrifty Friday, Friends! Today I'm sharing the upcycle of a previous estate sale find. Check out this thrifty technique to give plastic a realistic-looking faux concrete finish...

You may remember that I used the same technique to refresh my wall fountain last year.  

These are the paints I used for today's project.

I originally purchased this urn at an estate sale several years ago. You can see that it was past due for a refresh! First: I use a wire brush to loosen flaking paint. Next: I repainted the urn with Deco Art Chalky finish in Yesteryear. Last: I dry brushed the raised details with white multi-surface craft paint.

TIP: Don't worry about getting the detail work perfect--just keep a wet rag handy to wipe away excess paint, and you'll be surprised by the results! 

Here's a closer peek at the dry brushed accents.
