Painted Flowerpots

Have some fun this summer by adding a personal touch to your backyard flowerpots with this fun craft. Painted flowerpots make great gifts too!

What you need:

• Clay flowerpots - any size
• Pencil
• Paints or Markers
• Shellac (optional)
• Paintbrush(es)

What you do:

1. Plan a design or pattern for your pot. Draw it on with pencil.
2. Fill in your design or pattern with colour using markers or paint.
3. If you have painted your pot, allow paint to dry. Cover the outside of the pot with shellac to protect your artwork.
4. For fun you can paint a face on the pot and plant grass seeds in the pot. Allow the grass to grow, then give your face a haircut.
