Things you'll Need for Handpainted Planter

How to Paint Pots?
Step 1: Prepare the Pot
First, clean the Pot. Wipe off any dirt or dust with a damp cloth. If using a terracotta pot, let it dry completely before painting.
If you want bright colors to pop, apply a coat of white acrylic paint or primer as a base.
Step 2: Paint the Base Coat
Choose your favorite base color and use a large brush to apply a smooth, even layer of paint.
Now, Let it dry completely before adding a second coat.
Keep in mind that If you’re using multiple colors, use painter’s tape to create clean edges between sections.
Step 3: Add Your Design
Use a Pencil or chalk to sketch your design. Now, use smaller brushes or paint markers to paint details like faces, hearts, flowers, or animals.
Now's the time to play with different designs and techniques like polka dots, stripes, ombré effects, or hand-drawn characters.
Keep in mind that you've got to let each layer and each section dry out completely before adding more layers to prevent smudging.
Step 4: Add Final Touches
Outline your design with black paint or a fine-tip paint marker for a bold, beautiful and polished look.
Glue on accessories like bows, beads, or fabric for added texture. If making stacked or character pots, attach smaller pots using a sturdy wire or hot glue.
Step 5: Seal & Protect Your Pot (Most Important Step)
Once your design is completely dry, spray a clear acrylic sealant over the entire surface.
Step 6: Add Plants & Display!
Now that your Hand- painted flower pot is ready, fill it with your favorite flowers, succulents, or herbs! Place it on your porch, patio, or indoor space for a pop of personality.
