Painted Terra Cotta Pots

May 13, 2014 By: Melanie

It’s Transformation Tuesday here! Today we’re transforming some cheap Terra Cotta pots. This is about a 30 minute project from start to finish, it’s also super easy. All you need are some little Terra Cotta pots, some white paint, and a gold Sharpie. I have had these pots sitting on a kitchen shelf for a long time-I painted them white a long time ago too. They were overdue for a little transformation! 🙂

First step, paint the pots white. Then all I did is free hand a simple design with the gold sharpie. My designing is terribly imperfect, which I expected, but I love them! I was going for the hand drawn look. 🙂

Seriously, the Sharpie designing only took me about 10 minutes!

One more time - Boring pots:

And now - Awesome pots!

There are Sharpies in every color these days! Have you seen them? I finally bought me a pack and can’t wait to find more uses for them. Happy Tuesday! Are you transforming anything??

Oh! don’t forget we have 2 giveaways going on right now! You could win $25 to the Wood Connection HERE, and FREE BRACES see HERE!
