Here is a project that uses painting techniques and a clever trick with glue to turn an old clay pot into a vintage planter.
Note: The pot I used did not have a drainage hole, so I planted the plant in a separate plastic pot that would fit inside the clay pot. Then, whenever I need to water the plant, I can remove it from the clay pot, water the plant and allow it to drain before popping it back into the clay pot.
Total Time: afternoon project, drying time included
Yield: one planter

That pot is gorgeous!! How on earth did you learn how to do this?? I would love to have a pot or two like this, but as I am being pretty lazy, it's too much work and too many steps for me.
Hi LeeAnne67,
I learned how to do the glue technique when I attended watercolor art classes ~ we used it to create texture on rocks and bricks. I have never tried it on a clay pot before, but I love experimenting.
