Yield: 3 pots
Cost: $10
Equipment
Materials
- Decorative paper napkin(s)
- Terra cotta pot(s)
- Mod Podge Gloss
- Chalk paint
- Clear plastic wrap
Instructions
- Cut the shapes out from the napkin and separate layers, saving the top layer with the design. Set aside.
- Paint the clay pots using chalk paint. You don't need to completely cover the clay pot; allow the pot to stay a bit distressed looking. Let dry.
- Add Mod Podge to the pot in a thin layer and place the napkin on top. Use a piece of plastic wrap to smooth the napkin down gently with your fingers.
- Let dry and repeat with other napkin pieces and designs. Allow to dry.
- Seal the entire pot with a few coats of Mod Podge. Let dry for 24 hours before using.
Notes
Tips:
- Separate the layers of the napkins with scotch tape if you're having difficulty
- If you're going to use these for plants that you'll water, you'll need to spray the inside with a sealer so that the water doesn't seep through the pot and ruin the design
