To Prep the Pots
- Spray paint clay pots and saucers with the Testors Craft aerosol paints according to which design you choose. I painted both the outside as well as most of the inside for a finished look. Allow to dry completely before adding the details below.
Painting a Ladybug on a Clay Pot
- Use a white round sponge brush to add the white portion of the eyes.
- Then, use a paintbrush to start adding the black accent down the middle as well as all the way around the bottom to create the wings.
- Then use a smaller round sponge brush to add the black dots on the ladybug. Again be sure to go all the way around the pot.
- Once the white portion of the eyes is dry, you can add the black portion with a small round sponge brush.
- Allow your entire clay pot to dry before using.
Paint a Bee on a Clay Pot
- Paint both the pot and saucer with the yellow aerosol and allow it to dry.
- Then start with the white portion of the eye. Use a white round sponge brush to add the white portion of the eyes.
- Use a paintbrush to paint on black stripes around the body of the pot. Make the lines the width of your paintbrush.
- Paint the bee's black lines on the pot with 3 lines: one underneath the lip of the pot, one around the bottom, and one around the middle.
- Finally, once the white of the eyes is dry, add a second black dot in the center of the eyes with a smaller sponge brush.
- Allow your entire clay pot to dry before using.
