How-to: Rustic Meadow Vase.

Posted by Jessica Walton on 13th Mar 2017

This beautiful rustic meadow vase is a great gift if you're looking to give something with an added personal touch. Using dried product as a stamp you can really merge the natural world with the jug and the arrangement. Have a go at making this vase using our range of silk and craft products here at Country Baskets.

Everything you need:

Cameron Jug Large (find in store)
Acrylic Matt Paint X6 (find in store)
Acrylic Brush Set 7 Assorted (find in store)
Oak Branches White (find in store)
Dried Tarwe

Step One
Using a head of corn as a stamp, begin printing clusters of corn around the jug using green and yellow paints as the transfer medium.

Step Two
Do the same, but this time use a leaf from the oak branches. transfer green paint onto the base of the corn and build up the design.

Step Three
Using a small paint brush and some yellow paint, add some steams to the corn heads. This can be done using a steam from the corn as a stamp, but using a paint brush will provide you with more control.

Step Four
With a paint brush, add some wisps of grass around the green leaf prints for more texture.

Step Five
Add some strokes of white paint to the corn for definition.

Finally, add a rustic meadow arrangement consisting of grass, buttercups and corn.
