Terra Cotta pot stenciled and painted with plaster of Paris

Terra Cotta pot stenciled and painted with plaster of Paris

Good day everyone! I hope Spring is in the air in your part of the world:) It certainly has been here. I have been enjoying my slight brisk morning walks again. This is the time of year I start to come out of hibernation.

Today I am sharing a diy Terra cot pot stenciled and painted with plaster of Paris. Another experiment of course. It worked and I was pretty happy with the end results.

I used my Come as guests, leave as friends stencil. I thought this would be a warm and friendly greeting at the door.

Do lets start with the Terra cotta pot. You can find these larger pots in most garden sections. I found this one at Walmart.

After I stenciled with plaster of paris, find tutorial here. I let that dry over night.

Then I took the pot outside, placed it upside down in a box and spray painted it.

I let that dry overnight before I went over it with other variations of color. Use any colors of choice, but I first recommend the base of your pot to be spray painted.

After I dabbled in a few colors, I then let that dry and lightly sanded some areas for the weathered look.

I used a clear wax to seal it. Obviously I need to plant real flowers in my pot. Too early though for me. If I planted now, be dead next month. If I were lucky.

I’ll wait.

    Good for you. Best of luck in the new venture. Change is always good. Stagnant water seems to be only thing that does well undisturbed and unchanged.

    Debbie…I just read your newsletter!!!!….You are one of the very first of wonderful people that I connected with when I started blogging….You were such a friend of the new bloggers with that party that you had, The Newbie Blog Party….I so understand where you are coming from. You have to listen to your heart and decide what is best for you and your family. Blogging does take so much time out of our lives. I think your new adventure sounds wonderful and better yet, that you are doing it with your hubby.
    Your projects are always creative and beautiful like the terra cotta pot!…I will look forward to your post in my email when you choose to post!….Have a wonderful weekend Debbie!!!!

    That’s exciting. Ive followed your projects even though I’m not very artsy. I’m definitely going to check out your pressure cooker page. My folks just bought an insta pot and are still getting the hang of it. Those two sillies don’t do Facebook.

    Hi Debbie, I hope I am not missing anything but I love the way you did the pot. It looks truly inviting and certainly makes an impression for the front door. Some ideas I could use this spring and summer in the garden.

    Best wishes on this new endeavor! I won’t be signing up simply because we don’t own a pressure cooker, nor do we cook very much. My hubby is on a raw food diet (fruit, veggies, salads) due to medical issues.
    You sound happy and that is very important! I’ve learned from you so it IS easy to teach an old dog new tricks….just sayin’ 😉

    Onward and upward, Debbie! Change keeps us young!

    You’re stuck with me, honey! I may not be much of a cook anymore, but I’m always up for learning new things.

    Thanks for all the crafty fun and I look forward to what’s next!

    Love this stencil project! Everyone is talking about a pressure cooker – did I mess something? I have been behind due to my move. Sounds exciting!

    I am looking for information on staining terracotta flower pots without losing porosity. Does RIT dye do this? Do you have info on how to do this?
