There a bunch of paint samples in my garage from various different things and I either never used them, or I didn’t use all of them. I am amazed at all the colors I found.
I let my youngest kiddo pick the color to use on this project. She didn’t even hesitate….PINK!
The pot was sitting in the garage BUT……if you need one, find one like this –
Check out how you can order online and pick up in store……
Directions
- Wash the pot – I have used this pot for plants before so a good scrub with warm soapy water was all it needed.
- Starting with the inside of the pot, paint on your bright color (I used 2 coats)
- Paint the outside of the pot with the white paint – this took 2 coats
- Using the Cricut Design Space, decide what your pot is going to say…..
- Make the design – I found a cute font at dafont.com
- Place your project on the dry surface of the pot and transfer it….using skinny fonts is a pain, in case you didn’t know!!!!
- Dream about how one day you will be able to go back to your favorite stores and not have to worry about becoming a cast member of the Walking Dead.
I have vision of putting a stuffed bunny upside down in this pot, but I don’t have a way to keep him from falling in right now. I will think of something.
For now it will hang out on the console table at the front door.
Happy Crafting,
