Decorate and Paint a Terracotta Herb Planter


Spring has definitely arrived in these parts, and while we have yet to till our vegetable garden, we can begin potting fresh herbs and flowers to transfer later. Check out our lacy airbrushed flower pots and painted pots with a hanging hanger if you enjoy decorating pots. Today we're going to show you how to use milk paint to paint a terracotta planter and then attach dried moss to it.



This terracotta pot craft is ideal for your window sill, front porch, kitchen counter, or back patio, anywhere where it will be protected from the elements.

How to Paint and Decorate a Terracotta Planter

This project is extremely simple. If you're planting herbs, make our DIY plant markers to help you remember what you've planted.

Supplies:

  • Terracotta pot
  • Milk paint – we used Homestead House in Acadia Pear
  • Craft moss – available at craft stores
  • Paintbrush
  • Paper towel
  • Stencil
  • Permanent marker
  • Hot glue




Instructions:

You'll notice that our instructions differ slightly from how we completed the project. I wasn't planning on going over the stenciled word with milk paint at first, but decided to try it at the last minute and loved it.

So, to get started, grab your stencils and a permanent marker. Ignore the fact that my terracotta pot is already covered in milk paint.

Stencil any word you want on it. I chose 'grow' to try to inspire my plants to grow rather than die because I have a terrible green thumb.




It's now time to put your milk paint to use. Mix it according to the package directions – we used one part water to one part powder.

Brush the milk paint all over the terracotta pot, then wipe it down with a damp paper towel to remove some of it.




Before proceeding to the next step, allow your pot to dry.

Attach craft moss around the terracotta pot with a hot glue gun.




Fill your terracotta planter with your favorite herbs and place them on your kitchen counter, windowsill, front porch, or back patio.

Making A Pin Cushion Jar

Image
As a craft blogger, I have a craft room where I work on my projects, so I'm always looking for ways to organize it and make it look nicer. Sometimes this means repurposing household items, such as mason jars, to store odds and ends. So, today I'm going to show you how to transform a plain mason jar into a pin cushion jar. This project takes about 30 minutes to complete, so you can make one while watching an episode of your favorite show. Do you recall when I made the hair scrunchies? You may remember the fabric I used for that project. It's amazing what one big fat quarter can do. I also made a small fabric garland to hang on the wall out of a few strips of it.
