Floral Painted Terra Cotta Pots

This is a sponsored post for DecoArt for whom I am a Core Blogger. As always, all ideas and opinions are 100% my own.
floral-painted-terra-cotta-potsMy favorite outdoor activity during summer is gardening. I am addicted to pretty flowers so I am always on the hunt for new flower pots. Unfortunately they aren’t always affordable in the size and colors I want. But that is about to change with the help of DecoArt’s Patio Paints! Now I can purchase inexpensive terra cotta pots and decorate them any way I want, including florals that are so trendy right now.

patio-paintsFor this project you will need:

– Patio Paint in Coral Sunset
– Patio Paint in Blue Bahama
– Patio Paint in Citrus Green
– Patio Paint in Grey Skies
– 3 terra cotta pots in graduated sizes
– Assorted paintbrushes

For floral inspiration I did a Google Image search for “watercolor flowers.”

If you haven’t experimented much with paintbrushes, you can practice your strokes on a paper towel. I am NOT a painter and just played around with different brushes to create the flowers on these pots. The Patio Paint has great coverage so you don’t need to do multiple coats for this project. For contrasting colors, you can mix the coral, blue, and green each with a little bit of the gray paint. Once your first coat of paint is dry, go back with the contrasting paint colors to add extra accents to the flowers.

Those are beautiful and I've always wondered how to make tiered planters like that. Thanks for the tutorial. Pinned.
