How To Make Terra Cotta Painted Pots
Use this method to paint your new or old clay pots and transform them into beautiful and personalized works of art!
What You Will Need
- Terra cotta pots
- Patio Paint or acryllic paint that works on clay
- Paintbrushes
Instructions
- Apply paint to your pot. Use a single color, or mix colors to create a marbled look.
- Allow time for the paint to dry completely between coats. To customize your design further, feel free to add decorative paint on top of your base coat.
- After painting, ensure the pots aren’t exposed to moisture for at least 72 hours.
Notes
Since terracotta draws moisture away from the soil, paint the pot both inside and out to retain more moisture for your plants. Skipping this step may result in moisture seeping through and bubbling the paint on the outside.
