Make A Clay Pot Holiday Planter And Brighten Up Your Home
These clay pot planters make wonderful gifts for your garden friends as well as beautiful decorations for you home. You don’t have to make them a Christmas planter. Make a few at the same time and you can fit any season. The one pictured here is for the Christmas season because I love them in the house with flowers.Supplies you will need
2. Paint the base color on your pot. You may need 2 coats. Let it dry and then paint your design. You can freehand your design, trace it from a picture or else you can use stencils. For a different look, you can paint the rim of the pot a different color or else sponge paint the rim shown on the picture for a textured look. 3. For this pot I used a Christmas stencil. Secure the stencil onto your pot with tape. You can use acrylic paints or stencil paints. The stencil paint is thicker and won’t drip. Paint your design and then let it completely dry. 4. Using your sponge dab the rim with your first color and then follow up with your different colors. Let the paint dry a little between colors or else you will have what they call mud. 5. If you are going to use live plants then you will need to seal it again. You are now done and the clay pot is ready for anything you want to use it for. Kids love to paint these pots. They can paint the pot a base color and then use stickers or whatever their imagination lets them do. They make great gifts for family and friends.
