DIY Fluid Acrylic Marble Pour Vase in Black and Gold

Jungle for two, anyone? This thrift store based tablescape is just the right amount of wild and fun for your next rendezvous in!

Inspiration can come from anything, and everything. But this week, it was my love of leopard print and my cheapness that kicked into overdrive. Picture this – you are walking through the thrift store on a busy Saturday afternoon, and as luck would have it, a leopard and tiger print dinnerware plates and bowls cross your path. And you look at them, check the price, and BAM! For $2.50 you can get TWO dinner plates AND two bowls. Yeah, that’s right. Four pieces of dinnerware for $2.50.

Now, if this isn’t considered a lucky find, I don’t know what is. I got lucky, no doubt about it. The set was originally listed at $5, but because it was the color of the week, it was an additional 50% off. That was all the signs I needed to scoop up this bargain and start thinking about what I want to create around it.

As it were, I had upcycled a small vase I had picked up from the thrift store, after I created my blue, gold, and black fluid acrylic pour vase.  I just hate wasting paint, so freaking expensive, so whenever I can, I try and use it before I lose it.  The colors from the new black and gold vase seemed to match up perfectly with this new exotic print dinnerware set, so it was on to decide how to arrange them after that.

Country and rustic chic styles are not my thing. I like giving things more of a modern feel to them. But you know what? It’s kind of hard to come up with a glamorous jungle table decor on the cheap! With a little sourcing and waiting for a few key items to pop up in local thrift stores, I am proud to share my Jungle for Two table decor with DIY marble vase in black and gold!
