Let's Do This!
Step 1:
- Getting paints ready; other colors include purple, pink, yellow, and orange. Fill paint palette wells a little more than halfway, leaving enough room for water.
- Add ½ tsp. of water to each color well. Mix the color/water mixture thoroughly.
Step 2:
- Liberally load paint onto a cotton swab with desired paint color.
- Apply a dab of the paint on the edge of the bottom of the upside-down pot.
Step 3:
- Apply enough paint to the pot so there is a bead of paint sitting on the edge. This bead will start rolling down the side. Tip: Paint trails will get longer over time as gravity does the work.
- Apply first layer of paint drips around the bottom rim of the pot. Keep drips close together but do not overlap them. Let dry.
Step 4:
- Once pot is completely dry, apply another round of paint. Let dry. Tip: Use the paint to fill in gaps or to place on top of other colors. Spray with a sealer for long term outdoor use.
