Supplies you’ll need:

You will need: - Terra-cotta pot - Outdoor paint (I used Rust-Oleum in moss green) - Painters tape - Sharpie permanent marker (I used metallic gold)or metallic paint - Left-over beads or shells from your latest Lima Beads order:) I used cowrie and tiny nassa shells.

I also did a pot using hemp cord, I will show a picture of it in my step-by-step. If you are keeping these outdoors I would spray on a clear coat for durability.

Step-by-Step Instructions:

Step 1

These are the items you will need, plus a Sharpie marker.

Step 2

Cut two pieces of tape and angle them so their corner ends match up to create a point. It should look like an upside down chevron.

Step 3

Repeat Step 2, start from the top down to create the second chevron.

Step 4

Make sure your tape edges are pressed down well so the paint will not leak through. Now spray your paint on.

Step 5

Let the paint dry until it is tacky, then peel off your paint. Take your Sharpie and start coloring in the chevron shape you created.

Step 6

Now you have colored the chevrons in, I would spray on my clear coat. Let that dry then embellish away! Then just add your favorite flowers, herbs, succulents.

Step 7

Another idea is to wrap the pot with hemp cord and then spray it with color. You will get a nice wavy line pattern on your pot.

Step 8

On this small pot I did the same technique as Steps 1-6. I just cut the tape in a wavy pattern. Then I used cowrie and nassa shells to embellish.
