I was super excited when we bought our first succulents but I just couldn't let them sit in boring terracotta pots so I HAD to do something! It's not a big change but I think it makes a big difference.

You Will Need (4 things)

  • water based Enamel Paint
  • Masking Tape
  • Terracotta Flower Pot
  • Paintbrush

Steps (4 steps, 30 minutes)

  1. 1

    Mask of your pot to the line you want the paint to stop. Make sure it is stuck down well to avoid any paint bleeding under the tape.

  2. 2

    Paint the top and inside of your pot. Choosing a paint for this project is important. It needs to be waterproof. I'm using a water based high gloss enamel paint called "Splash" from White Knight.
    You might need to apply a few coats. Make sure you are happy with the coverage before you remove your tape.

  3. 3

    Once the paint is dry you can peel back your tape and check out your awesome new pot.

  4. 4

    Fill your beautiful new pots with some pretty plants.
    Succulents are my fav right now (just like the rest of the world...) I just love that they are SUPER low maintenance. No one in my house has a green thumb so they are the perfect fit for us. :)
