How to Make Easy but Good Planting Pots

Having fresh plants in your home or garden can make a significant difference to the overall aesthetic of your space. However, finding the right plant pots can be a daunting task. Commercial planter pots may be aesthetically pleasing, but they can be expensive, and they might not fit in with your decor. Here's a simple guide on how to make your planting pots that are both easy and good-looking.

Materials Needed

The materials you will need for this project are easy to find and might already be lying around in your home. They include:

Terra cotta or plastic bowls

Mod Podge or White Glue

Paint Brush

Sandpaper

Spray Paint in your preferred colour

Painter's Tape

Method

The method requires some creativity, and you can adjust accordingly to your preference.

Start by sanding the surface area of the bowl to remove any rough spots on the surface. This action will help the Mod Podge to settle better on the surface.

Use the Mod Podge or white glue and a paintbrush to paint the surface area of the pot. Ensure you cover the entire surface with a thin layer of the adhesive.

Allow the glue to dry completely, which should take about 20 to 30 minutes.

Next, use painter's tape to create a straight line or any other design of your choosing on the surface of the bowl. Ensure the tape firmly sticks to the pot's surface to prevent paint from bleeding through.

Spray paint the uncovered area in your preferred colour, keeping a safe distance of about six inches from the surface of the pot. Allow time for the paint to dry; it should take about 20 to 30 minutes. Some paint can take up to an hour or even more to dry depending on the temperature and humidity.

Carefully remove the painter's tape from the surface area of the painted pot.

Allow the paint to dry entirely before using it as a planting pot, which should take about 24 hours.

Conclusion

Making your planting pots may seem like a significant task, but with a little creativity and the right materials, it's a simple Do-It-Yourself project that can yield excellent results. It allows you to customize your pot to fit in with your house decor or garden's overall design while keeping cost under control. Use these simple steps to create a beautiful and unique planting pot that will impress all who see it.
