Decorating a Plant Pot Video
If you enjoy cooking, you'll know how important it is to have an assortment of fresh herbs to hand in your kitchen. Why not work this into your kitchen scheme by following this crafty step-by-step guide.
Time to complete the job: 3 hours plus overnight drying
Approximate budget: £15
You will need:
- An unglazed terracotta pot and tray
- PVA glue
- Brushes
- Two colours of emulsion paint to match your kitchen
- An array of culinary herbs
- Felt feet
- Pistachio shells
- A felt tip pen
- Spray varnish
Step 1: Seal the pot
Paint your terracotta pot with a coat of PVA glue to seal it. Cover the whole outside of the pot and both sides of the tray. This will help you to apply the finish and will stop moisture from coming through the wrong side of the terracotta. Leave to dry.
Step 2: Paint the pot
Paint the bottom portion of the pot in a colour that co-ordinates with your kitchen colour scheme. Next, pain the rim in a contrasting colour. The Our Home team went for a classic black and white combination.
