Howdy Folks!
Today I’m putting some paint on the hallway – Finally!! I will share some photos next week (as right now it looks like a construction area) and share some tips I’ve learned along the way. Fun, fun.
In the meantime, I’ve been keeping myself busy decorating pots for some new succulents. I just love how these plants are everywhere right now! I got a set of 3 at Costco for 12.99 and they are pretty large sized… the smaller ones are less expensive , but I’m tired of teeny plants. So I was happy for the bigger version, and when I saw that there were 3, it was like “Challenge Accepted!!” I can make 3 different pots to hold my newest babies and we can get crafty together.
So, here’s how I reinvented numero uno – Inspired by a henna tattoo.
You know I love me some culture!!
Here’s the pot, sans all the new fabulousness… I picked it up because I really fell for the handles.
First, a coat of primer to even everything out. I used an oil based primer because it adheres to anything and never a bubble!
Then I took out some old puff paint, you know the stuff right?! You used to write on clothes with it when you were in grade school? I just happened to have some lying around… pick a color that you don’t really care about.
I settled in by my computer and started “henna-ing” with the puff paint right onto the pot. See?
Just checking my work emails and puff paintin’!! Do you think your boss would mind you doing this at the office?
I wasn’t going to do both sides, but then I thought that maybe I would put the pot on a coffee table that would be viewed on all sides. Anyhoo, you can do one side or both – Whatever you like!
Once it dried, I coated it with a spray of high gloss white paint. All that white was a little blah, so I taped up the handles and painted them gold with Liquid Leaf paint – stuff is awesome!! And soooo shiny.
And here is the newly transformed pot! Muy cute, Si?!
Have a fun, extra long weekend! Whoo-hoo!!
