Supplies

Instructions

  • Use a large plastic bin or make your own box with a large garbage bag that water can go in. You need to fill the box with enough water so that you will be able to dip your pot in it.
  • Use white spray paint to put a base coat on your terracotta pot. You only need to spray a little on the inside. No need to waste spray paint.
  • Let the paint dry. It should not be tacky.
  • Use two different colors of spray paint. Quickly spray both colors in the water.
  • Use the skewer to move the paint around.
  • Pick up the pot and carefully dip it into the water. Roll the pot around so that all sides get covered.
  • Place the terracotta pot upside down on the wine bottle so it can dry. Allow to fully dry as it should not be tacky to the touch.
  • Use a clear coat spray or
    with a brush to fully protect your faux marbled flower pot.

Notes

  • You could use any color combinations you would like with this project. You just might want to stick with colors that you know will mix well together.
  • Make sure to work quickly when spraying and dipping your painted flower pot.
  • The weather can also effect your outcome especially if it is too humid or hot out.
