In my northern cervix of the woods, at that topographic point aren’t truly a lot of non bad options. So this yr I made a novel plan, in addition to it starts amongst the thrift store.

These are the ceramic pots I started with… I was non impressed amongst the colours. I intend nigh people would walk correct past times them. But I liked the shape of them, peculiarly the thick rim at the top, in addition to I loved the texture! Look at that interesting pattern – in addition to thus much fun to paint!

Enter spray paint! Blue is a beautiful colouring textile for spring! Last year, I decked out my entire patio inwards beautiful shades of blue, white in addition to grey. I’m in addition to thus drawn to deep colours similar the beautiful navy blueish inwards the novel Tiffany Pratt collection for Krylon. I too idea it would locomote a beautiful colouring textile to pigment an ombre pattern amongst – where the colouring textile starts deep in addition to gradually gets lighter.

All you lot take away to brand this projection is one-time ceramic institute pots in addition to spray paint! The colours I chose were a unproblematic white primer, a navy blueish (with a beautiful gloss finish!), in addition to a transparent clear protective spray.

How to Make DIY Ombre Ceramic Pots:

Start past times ikon your pots amongst the white primer. Paint the entire ceramic planter – or at to the lowest degree whatsoever business office that mightiness locomote exposed afterwards it’s total of dirt in addition to plants!

Once the white is dry out you lot tin pigment your blueish ombre. To instruct the ombre effect, you lot desire to flip your pot over (so the function past times is down), in addition to spray your navy blueish paint aimed at the bottom of your pot. This agency the pigment volition locomote heaviest in addition to thickest at the bottom (which is truly the function past times of the pot).

The line a fast 1 on to getting a non bad ombre termination is but to slow angle your tin up, land you lot stride farther away from the pot. Increasing the distance betwixt you lot in addition to the pot volition hateful a thinner layer of spray pigment equally you lot movement upwards.

When the blueish was dry, nosotros flipped our pot over to spray pigment the function past times rim, in addition to the root brace inches of the inside. The function past times rim tin become on black because it’s the start of the ombre pattern. We cutting a slice of cardboard to protect the pots underneath the rim because nosotros didn’t desire whatsoever overspray to instruct on the white paint. When they are dry, spray pigment them amongst the clear complete spray to protect them from the elements.

And here’s how they turned out…

LOVE my novel in addition to improved ceramic institute pots! The pattern adds so much visually to the ombre design. Some of the inlayed sections stayed white, accenting the colours in addition to the pattern.

Eventually I’m going to pick out these ceramic pots outside, but nosotros even in addition to thus pick out frost at nighttime hither inwards northern Canada, in addition to thus for right away I’m experimenting amongst a few spots on my kitchen counters!
