Hi all! It’s Carmen today and it’s my turn to share with you a fun project made using Ann Butler Designs products. I think that little flower pots are so cute so I always have a stack in the house ready for crafting. This project uses minimal materials and tools so you can whip up a bunch of these quickly for unexpected gifts. I used the luscious Ann Butlers’ Iridescents by Earth Safe Finishes which come in lovely jewel tones that take pots from plain to elegant.
Here’s how:
Materials:
Plain terra-cotta flower pots
Tools:
Paint brushes, Color Box Art Daubers
Instructions:
1. Paint each pot with a base coat in your choice of Earth Safe Finishes. Apply 4-5 coats letting the paint dry between layers.
2. Mix a big spoonful of the Copper Powder it the Sheer Bronze paint. This will brighten up the paint. Stir well with a brush.
3. Use a small brush to paint stripes on the pots using the Sheer Bronze paint. Add dots by using the Color Box Daubers dipped in the Sheer Bronze paint. Let dry thoroughly.
That’s it! This is a fun way to coordinate pots and containers. Add a few tiny gifts and you’ve got a quick and easy last minute gift for unexpected celebrations. Enjoy!
