Drip Paint Container

The drip paint effect is a fun way to decorate containers and bring a potential pop of color to home décor!

Equipment

  • 1 Crafting Blow Torch

Materials

  • 1 Circular Container with separate lid and base
  • Spray Paint black
  • Floetrol
  • Acrylic Paint light blue, dark blue, purple (glitter), black (glitter)
  • Lubricant
  • 4 Popsicle Sticks
  • 9 Paper Cups for mixing and for elevating the container

Instructions

  • Spray-paint the exterior of the container.
  • In four paper cups, pour out floetrol to fill up half of the cup. Squirt some acrylic paint into the floetrol, each cup should be a different color. Add a few drops of lubricant to each cup. Stir until fully mixed.
  • Pour a little bit of each color into a single cup until it is full of enough paint to cover the lid. Pour over the lid and spread to all surfaces. Use a blow torch to help activate the lubricant and let the paint spread.
  • Pour the remaining paint into a squeeze bottle. Drip the paint around the rim of the bottom of the container (where it would meet the lid). Let dry. Display and enjoy!
