INSTRUCTIONS

NOTES:

Let dry completely between painting steps.

Buy some plain flower pots (terracotta or ceramic) or find some old pots to upcycle. (TIP: Choose cool, modern shaped pots to really emphasize this contemporary design.) Use the provided inspiration patterns to plan your design. The colors chosen are very bright and cheerful, perfect for a spring porch.

Instruction #1

Paint the entire surfaces of the pots with Cloud White.

Instruction #2

Use masking tape to help achieve straight lines around the pots.

Instruction #3

For scallop accents on some of the pots, trace the provided template onto the pot with a pencil or light colored pencil.

Instruction #4

Paint the scallop areas with Fuchsia. (TIP: Flat brushes are best to use when you need a crisp line of paint.) Paint the inside of the scallop pot with Lime Zest. Remove the masking tape. Add another layer of masking tape to create a line to paint in Blue Bahama. Remove the tape and allow to dry.

Instruction #5

Paint the bottom edge with Marigold. (I painted the feet with Citrus Green.) Using a liner brush, paint accents with Tiger Lily Orange and Cloud White. Paint the top part of pot with Cloud White.

Instruction #6

Cut out and trace the provided rainbow shape onto another pot for a trendy patio accent. Paint around the arc shape with Tiger Lily Orange and the interior of the pot with Blue Bahama.

Instruction #7

Paint the layers of the rainbow with Lime Zest, Fuchsia, and Blue Bahama. Allow to dry. Paint Cloud White accents with a liner brush.

Instruction #8

For another modern porch pot idea, add colorful lines of paint in a retro design pattern of stripes with limited colors. Start by drawing on a 90 degree angled pattern of lines with a pencil. Paint the top color Marigold using a flat brush.

Instruction #9

Paint the next stripes with Citrus Green and then Tiger Lily Orange. Allow to dry. (TIP: Add a drop of Cloud White to Citrus Green for a more opaque look for the last coat of paint.) Paint outer areas and line accents with Cloud White.

Instruction #10

This flower pot refresh is perfect for any spring outdoor décor. Add the pots to other DIY front porch décor to liven up your space.
