Paint a pot for your garden
Materials
- Terracotta pots, Resene terracotta sealer,
- Resene Quick Dry - undercoat (small pot),
- Testpots - undercoat: Resene Dusty Road; Resene Coriander,
- Testpots - Resene FX Metallics: Resene Goldmine; Resene Stun,
- Resene paintbrushes (I used Pal detail Brush number 6 for undercoats; Pal detail Brush number 2 for Resene FX Metallic coats),
- Wooden stick to stir Resene FX Metallic pots,
- Gardening gloves, Potting mix and Plants.
Make it
- Coat the terracotta pots inside and out with Resene Terracotta Sealer.
- Once dry, apply Resene Quick Dry as a fast-drying undercoat.
- Then, paint each pot with the assigned undercoat for each Resene FX Metallic paint. Allow to dry.
- Take time to stir each Resene FX Metallic paint pot so the sparkle is mixed through the paint. Paint two to three layers, allowing drying time after each layer. Use a criss-cross technique when painting. This ensures maximum sparkle and great results.
- Pop your gardening gloves on, and half-fill each painted pot with soil. Put a small plant in and fill to near the top with more soil.
- Enjoy!
Tip: A great idea for Christmas presents because they’re pretty and made from the heart!
Tip: A basecoat is recommended for all Resene FX Metallic – with the specific colour shown in brackets on the colour chart.
