Supplies:

Step 1: Prep Your Stencil

Create or purchase a stencil in the design of your choice, if you have a craft cutter and want to use the same designs I’ve used, check out my etsy shop and use coupon code COUNTRYCHIC to get the monogram cutting files for free!

Step 2:

Mix Texture Powder and paint in approximately a 1:1 ratio in a resealable container until you have the consistency of toothpaste.

Step 3: Apply Your Stencil

Spray the back of your stencil with spray adhesive. Allow it to dry until it’s slightly tacky and position on the pot.

Step 4: Apply Textured Paint

Spread your Texture Powder/paint mix over the stencil with a putty knife.

Step 5: Peel Off Stencil

Remove the stencil, smooth any overly peaked areas and allow to dry.

Step 6: Paint Entire Pot

Sand if desired and paint pot with the same colour you mixed with texture powder earlier. Allow this to dry for about 1-2 hours.

Step 7: Apply Crackle Medium (optional)

Apply Crackle Medium if desired and allow it to dry for a few hours until it’s completely dry.

Step 8: Paint Pot Again

Paint your pot with a contrasting colour and allow it to dry.

Step 9: Distress

Sand and distress – especially around the embossed area – to make the embossing stand out.

Step 10: Wax or Glaze (optional)

Apply Antiquing Wax or Glaze in your color of your choice to add extra depth and dimension to your project. Allow to dry.

Step 11: Plant

Fill with your favourite plant and show it off!
