Also, seafood souvenirs can be combined with a wide variety of small details, for example, with coins, buttons, shards of broken dishes, or ceramic tiles.

Also, if desired, the pattern can be supplemented with a spectacular pattern applied with paints, or a mixture cement mortar with PVA. In this case, the mixture should turn out to be similar to thick sour cream. The resulting mixture is applied to the pot with a brush, excess solution is removed with a napkin.

The design method looks like this: an adhesive mass is applied to the place outlined for the drawing, after which the pot is tilted and sprinkled with sand. The last stage of decoration is coating the surface with varnish, which will make the product more durable and give it a spectacular shine.

Textile design

Great decor idea flower pots is the decoration of the pots with a cloth. For this design, ceramic or plastic pots are best suited, because their surface will need to be rubbed with sandpaper for durability. After that, glue is applied to the entire surface of the pot and textiles are carefully wound from one edge along the entire length of the base. In this case, to avoid the formation of air bubbles, the fabric must be smoothed. Further, on both sides, it is necessary to make cuts in the shape of a triangle and finally fix the fabric.

If you want to match the color of the flower pots to your interior design, or just add bright colors to the white windowsill, you can paint the usual clay pots in warm and delicate colors.

4 clay flower pots

White matte No. 1007 (either primer No. 68 or No. 168)

Cream No. 33 (Cream)

Green # 27 (LeafGreen)

Blue No. 15 (River Blue)

Glossy varnish Bosny No. 190 - optional

Old wallpaper or newspapers

1. Before painting, the pots must be washed, dried and, if necessary, degreased. If they are new, it will be enough to simply wipe them with a damp cloth.

2. We put the first pot on the newspapers laid out in advance.

3. Apply Bosny # 1007 matt white paint as a primer. On this basis, the primary colors will be richer and brighter, moreover, it will fill the pores and significantly reduce paint consumption. dark color, you can also use Bosny primers gray # 68 or red-brown # 168.

4. After the priming layer has dried (after about 10-15 minutes), apply a thin layer of paint of the main color. We paint the entire outer surface of the pot, as well as the upper part of the inner surface (about 2-3 cm from the edge).

5. After 1-2 minutes apply the second layer. If necessary, apply even thin layers of paint until the color saturation you want is achieved.

6. After the paint has dried (after about 10-15 minutes), you can apply a glossy aerosol varnish. This will make the surface shiny and protect it from dirt. Thanks to a layer of paint and varnish, the pots will be easy to clean and look cleaner.

7. Repeat the same procedure with all the other pots, alternately painting them in different colors.

ADDITION

On the side surface of the pot, after applying the paint (when it dries), you can use a stencil to apply some drawing or inscription in a contrasting color. And then open the entire surface with varnish.

In our houses, they do not always fit the interior of the room, but are often just plain nondescript. Spring is coming and we want to transform our house, put things in order in all corners and come up with something new for comfort in our apartment. Why not start with flower pots, because they are always in sight - they stand on the windowsills or somewhere near the window. At the same time, we will transplant the plants tired during the long winter months into fresh soil and renewed pots. First you need to decide what we want to change in appearance their flower pots. Maybe we are tired of their dull brown or gray? Then everything is simple: take acrylic paints, a brush and change the color. Do not forget that before you start painting the pot, it must be well washed, dried and degreased (for this, wipe the pot with nail polish remover or alcohol with a cotton swab).

It is imperative to pay attention to what material the flower pot is made of. If it is plastic, then before painting the pot, prime the entire surface of the pot with PVA glue, let it dry, and then paint it in the desired color with acrylic paint. In addition to acrylic paints, you can use spray paints.

When the paint dries, if you don't get an even and beautiful layer, paint the pot again and let the paint dry well again. To fix the result, cover the pot with acrylic varnish. Only when the varnish is dry, start planting a flower in a pot.

As you can see in the photo above, the pots are not just painted with paint of one tone, but they draw drawings that anyone who can at least hold a brush in their hands can easily draw. The advantage of coloring flower pots with your own hands is that you can come up with any drawing or pattern and try to bring it to life.

It is quite easy to decorate clay pots, especially those that are not glazed. The surface of the pot is porous, so before painting, such a pot must also be primed with PVA glue. When the glue is dry, carefully paint the pot in two coats. When the paint dries, start drawing.

If you wish, you can decorate several flower pots in the same theme and transform any room in the house with their help. These are the pots that boys might like.

And girls may like pots of flowers, butterflies (dragonflies) or birds.

If your child already knows how to draw something, try painting flower pots together. You will surely have a useful and interesting time.

Children will surely be delighted with pots with eyes and noses. They can serve as containers for small toys.

For the kitchen, paint the flowerpot with flowers, berries, teapots or polka dots.

For the bedroom and living room, imagine and depict something that fits the interior of the room.

When inspiration comes, drawings are quickly invented and immediately brought to life.

Sometimes even the drawings on the pot seem small to us, but we want to add something else so that the flower pots or pot turns into something extraordinary. Then you need to look at home for what can be glued to the pot so that it stands out from a number of its fellows. It can be anything: beads, sequins, buttons, plastic and felt flowers and other small jewelry. You need to glue with super glue or glue from a gun.

In a similar way, you can transform your flower pot by completely pasting it with shells. Such a pot will support the marine theme well in the room.

Planters and pots decorated with shells can decorate not only a room, but also a balcony, terrace or porch in a garden house.

If the pot has turned out well, you should not plant such a plant in it, which will cover the results of your labor with its leaves. Plant in it, for example, cacti that grow slowly and do not hang down.

A ceramic or plastic pot can be pasted over with pebbles. You can use super glue or glue from a special gun to attach the pebbles.

Simple plastic pots, after decorating with pebbles, are transformed beyond recognition.

Have you ever tried to use textured plaster for decorating pots? Try it. Get interesting results. Apply textured (embossed) plaster to the pot and use a comb or notched trowel to apply any pattern you can imagine to the wet plaster. It is important not to smudge the applied drawing, but to carefully dry the pot. In the future, the plaster does not crumble or peel off.

Another noteworthy way to decorate flower pots is by gluing pieces of tree branches. Take thin twigs of a tree (preferably not resinous species), garden clippers and prepare wooden "rounds". Begin to glue them to the pot with hot glue from the bottom and continue until the entire area is full. Alternate between small and large pieces of wood. When the glue is dry, cover the pot with acrylic varnish.

And if you don't feel like cutting branches with wire cutters, just put two rubber bands on the pot and gently push the equally cut branches under them around the entire pot. Then use twine to tie the twigs together.

These pots can be decorated with thin branches painted with silver or gold paint and natural or artificial berries.

Many ways to decorate pots have already been invented. Perhaps you will come up with something of your own. Here's how you can decorate the pots with lace. Cut out pieces of lace and glue to the pot, which is primed with PVA glue. Next, the pot of lace needs to be painted.

To decorate the pot with twine, you need a reel of twine, PVA glue and a brush. Take the pot and coat the strip with PVA glue. Carefully begin winding the twine around the pot. Further, also to the very top of the pot: coat the strip with glue and wind the twine. Then let the pot dry. The twine can even be painted in any color with acrylic paint.

If you suddenly want flower pots to repeat the colors of curtains or curtains, then you need to take the fabric from which the curtains are sewn and make a pattern for the pot. To do this, on a clean sheet of paper, "roll" the pot from one edge to the other of the sheet and draw two rounded lines: along the upper and lower edges of the pot. Measure the circumference of the pot at the top and bottom, these dimensions should correspond to the lines you drew. Cut out a pattern and lay it on the fabric, securing it with needles. By the way, do not forget to leave extra 1 centimeter at the top and bottom on the pattern in order to be able to tuck the fabric. Glue the cut out fabric with PVA glue on the pot, decorate as you wish.

From unnecessary knitted things, sew these "suits" for your pots. They look fresh and beautiful in spring.

Perhaps you will like the pot just wrapped in burlap.

Pots in matting bags look great, somehow it immediately becomes homely cozy.

Everything that you read above makes sense to do with flower pots, if they are still intact, without cracks, and ceramic ones do not crumble or crumble. And if there is no point in transforming the old pots, then take them to the dacha and make such a funny "potty" company out of them.

Good luck to all!
