I also save different containers and look for painted pots ideas on the internet for inspiration.This time I decided to keep the container of a citronella candle and draw a cute mud cloth design on it.Before we jump into the step by step tutorial, I wanna help you save money and use what you already have for this DIY project.So let’s see what you can use and what kind of paint and design can fit your home and garden decor.&nbsp;Please note that this article contains affiliate links.&nbsp; Please see my full disclosure and privacy policy for more info.&nbsp;The most common ones are plastic flower planters. If you walk into Lowes or Home Depot, you’ll find them everywhere.I guess it’s because they are relatively cheap, but I often find them boring. Good and budget-friendly supply for your painting pots DIY though…Do you have terracotta or clay planters at home? Good news!

Spray paint, chalk paint, and markers, as I mentioned above.No matter what kind of paint you chose coloring your flower pots, the most important is to prepare and seal your garden pot painting at the end.&nbsp; It will protect your new creation from the elements.Tips that always work for me:Clean the pot with soap and water.Let it dry.Lightly sand the outside of the pot with fine-grit sandpaper.Wipe the planter using a damp cloth to remove all dust.Paint with choice of paint.Let the pots dry.Use a sealant to protect your garden pot paint.Let it dry overnight.&nbsp;Clean your planter with a wet cloth and sand it a little bit.Clean it again, so you remove all dust and dirt. Let it dry.&nbsp;I decided not to paint my container another color. I wanted to keep the original green.BUT if you want to paint it, this is the time to do so. You can choose chalk, acrylic, or spray paint.If 1 coat is not enough, wait until the first layer is completely dry and paint an additional coat.&nbsp;Here is my video on how I drew different Easter designs on my clay pots with the white marker.You can start drawing with the choice of your permanent marker.

It’s a zip file with JPG, PNG, and PDF so you can resize it if needed.&nbsp;Started at the bottom of the container and draw the first horizontal line. Then 2 more parallel lines. One in the middle and one at the top of the pot.I started to fill up the bottom part under the first line with mud cloth patterns.Then I kept following the horizontal lines, and I was free drawing different patterns line by line.The finished painted pot is looking perfect. It is handmade and unique.&nbsp;I know some of you wonder if this planter is protected enough to place it outdoors. I always use the Rustoleum sealant because it works on metal, wood, plastic, and paint.Wait until the paint and pot design is completely dry and spray a layer of sealant on the pot. Dry it overnight, and you can plant any herb or flowers in it. It is now ready to be a beautiful garden decoration.&nbsp;As always, painting planters and repurposing different containers into an outdoor decoration is so much FUN.You have the choice of different types of paints and designs to create a unique flower planter.
