How to make it
Spray the sealer outdoors or with a window open.
1Wipe the pots
Wipe off dust with a damp cloth and let them dry for 1 hour.
2Seal the inside
Spray the inside of each pot with sealer outdoors. Clay soaks up water and pushes paint off from behind, so this matters.
3Tape your pattern
Tape off a stripe, a dipped bottom or a diagonal. Press the tape edges down firmly.
4Paint 2 coats
Paint the open areas and let them dry 30 minutes between coats.
5Add details
Peel the tape and add dots or lines with the detail brush.
6Seal the outside
Spray 2 light coats of sealer on the outside. Let it dry overnight.
7Plant them
Add potting mix and a plant. Tie a tag on for a teacher and you're done.
Edie's tipPaint the rim and the top 1 in inside the pot too. It makes it look finished when the plant is in.
