Using the wine cork as a stamp just sort of came to me whenever I was looking for something to use to decorate the sides. I think it would have worked better if it hadn’t been so smooth, but I don’t really have any wine corks lying around with a lot of texture to them, so I made due. I like how irregular it made everything look though. I’m not really one for perfection. I’ve also seen people etching things out of their wine corks and using that as a stamp, but I don’t have that kind of meticulous skill.

Start by painting your planter with whatever you have. I used spray paint because I wanted something fast drying.
Then figure out your stencil/stamp that you want to use. I actually used the bottom of a wine cork to make polkadots all over mine and paired the light pink of the planter with a gold paint for the dots.
Then just let it dry and you’re done!
