Bring life and color to your pots in five steps

If you want to give your garden a cheerful and original touch, hand-painted pots are an excellent option, as they will add an attractive and unique flair.

Whether for decorating your indoor or outdoor spaces, as a gift, or to start a small business, this type of craft can also be an excellent anti-stress therapy.

It is a simple and fun task that requires little investment and only a bit of your talent and creativity. Dare to create decorative pots using your imagination or by relying on any template or drawing from the internet.

Start now, Do It Yourself!

Materials and tools:

-1-inch natural bristle brush

-Paintbrushes

-Paint in various colors

-Terracotta pot

-Pencil

-312 g clear acrylic spray

Instructions:

1. Clean the terracotta pot with a damp cloth or wash it if necessary and let it dry thoroughly.

2. If you want it to be more durable, you can waterproof the pot so that the paint is more resistant.

3. Once waterproofed inside and out, paint the entire pot white.

4. Once this first coat of paint is dry, use the pencil to mark the design you want to create on the pot. Here, the options and style will depend on your taste.

5. Then, once the design is drawn, start coloring with brushes, avoiding using the same brush to add multiple colors, or it is recommended to wash the brush thoroughly before using it to apply another color.

Ready! Show off your new uniquely designed pot. You can color one or several and then place them in a series in a spot where they will attract looks and compliments from your friends, family, and guests. Do It Yourself!
