I’m starting to be fixated on finding different things in my house to upgrade and beautify :) One of my latest undertakings involve an old flower/planter pot that I have been storing in the garage for what seems forever lol! I’m really feeling the physical changes of the facelift from the previous plain plastic terracotta planter to a more modern design. My new favorite stone texture spray paint has made another cameo appearance; in addition to some rope to add some dimension.
Materials
White Primer Spray Paint
Rope
Texture Spray Paint
Yarn
Planting Pot
Glue Gun/ Glue Sticks
E6000 Glue
Step 1
Use white primer to spray paint the exterior of the pot.
Step 3
Start spray painting the texture spray paint after the white spray paint primer dries.
Step 4
I cut and burnt the ends of some thick black rope that I purchased from a Home Improvement store. (Burning the ends of the rope helped with stopping the ends of the rope from unraveling) I used a combination of E600 glue and a glue gun to adhere the rope to the top of the planter.
Step 5
I usually always feel the need to add a pop of color to something "hahaha"
I used a glue gun and spiral wrapped pink yarn around the black rope. I hot-glued the yarn to the rope approximately every five inches to make sure the yarn was secure.
Step 6
Wrap the pink coiled rope around the top of the planter and secure with hot glue.
There you have it An outdoor planter with a modern flare! This is a great example of a way to refresh an old planting pot or jazz up a new plain planter.
