What materials are needed to paint pots?

Flower pot

To paint pots what is needed is:

  • Pot, either clay or ceramic.
  • Brush, small brush for details and large brush for the rest of the drawing.
  • Water container.
  • A container to clean the brushes.
  • Colorful acrylic paint.

In the event that, like me, you are not good at drawing, I recommend you also use a plastic template that you will find for sale in any bookstore or bazaar (the old 100-peseta everything stores).

Once you have everything, follow this step by step to give your pots

another color:

  1. The first thing to do is clean them well with water to remove dirt.
  2. Next, give it a coat of acrylic paint with a little water to seal, and let it dry well.
  3. Then, if you want to make polka dots or other drawings, place the template and fill in the circles or shapes you have chosen with a brush.
  4. Finally, they must be allowed to dry well before using them.

And ready. So easy and fast you can have your pots decorated to your liking.
