Here's an easy way to give new life to old terra-cotta pots you have around the shed: Paint them to create coordinating stripes. Using masking tape in various widths, mark a simple striped design on the pot. In a well-ventilated area, spray the exterior and the rim (and any accompanying saucers) with weatherproof spray paint; let dry completely. Peel off tape.
At the garden center I go to, they always have different sizes of terra-cotta pots on the clearance wagon. I grab them up for less than half price. I'm doing this application on them today. Can't wait! What a great idea!
or around the sides........................
Just don't paint or seal the bottom.........
Just be advised that painting the clay pot removes the characteristics of clay pots (porousness, breathing, water release).
What a great idea...I have so many clay pots..this is a good way to "fancy" them up a bit.
It is probably a brand like "Krylon" which is and indoor/outdoor spray paint. I have used this on my ceramic pots and it works nicely.
Love it - but what brands are weatherproof spray paint? I love the colors above, what are they? Thanks!
Love it!!
Easy and cute... a great way to spice up terra-cotta pots!
