DIY Painted Planters
Tools And Supplies:
- Clear Brush-On Sealer
- Oil-Based Paint Markers
- Foam Brush
- Terracotta Planters, various sizes
- Acrylic Paint
Directions:
Step 1: Pick a base color for each terracotta planter and paint them using your foam brush.
Step 2: Let it dry. NOTE: If you try to add the designs before the base coat is dry, then you smear the paint.
Step 3: Take a pencil and trace the design that you want on your terracotta planter. NOTE: Making marks with pencil is easier to erase than paint.
Step 4: Using the oil-based paint markers trace the design that you created with your pencil.
Step 5: Dry again, and then give them a coat of clear coat. NOTE: This step is to work as a sealer for your paint, so it may be easier to brush or spray the clear coat on.
Step 6: Plant your flowers or plants into the terracotta planter and enjoy!
