Servings: 1
Equipment
- Painters tape or masking tape
- Foam brush
Ingredients
- 6 inch clay flower pot
- Craft paint colors used: Mountain Blue, Flamenco Red, and Antique Parchment
- Clear topcoat - indoor/outdoor
Instructions
- Lay paper or cardboard to cover your work surface.
- Adhere a piece of tape over the hole on the inside of the pot.
- Use the foam brush to paint the entire pot with a very light coat of the Antique Parchment paint.
- Once the pot has dried, flip it upside down.
- Pour small drops of the red and blue paint on the bottom of the pot, along the edges. Allow the paint to pour over the sides. (Using just a small amount of paint will ensure that it doesn’t run over the rim of the pot.)
- Once the paint has dried, flip it back over, and use your fingers to paint fingerprints around the rim of the pot.
- Spray with the topcoat once dry, and allow the topcoat to dry overnight.
