Paint Pour Pots



Crafty on Mondays paint pour pots

Paint pour pots are so easy to do. I had a few terra cotta pots laying around (one had a chip in the bottom), so I fixed the chip, and gave them a makeover.

Directions:

Lay down a plastic bag to protect your surface. Paper will not work as a good amount of paint is left over.
Turn your pots over and place a piece of tape over the drainage hole
Pour enough acrylic paint to cover the bottom. This will be your base color
Add colors. Each time, add just enough paint to cover the bottom. after the addition of the second/ third color, you will see the base coat start to slide down the pot. 
Keep adding the paint until you are happy with the results. 

Note: stop just before you think it is just right as the paint will continue to run. 

Place the project outside to dry and it will be ready to use in 24 hours.
