Transform a Simple Flower Pot with a Sharpie in Just 3 Steps!
Create a burst of color in your garden or indoors with these easy-to-make Sharpie Dot Clay Flower Pots. This fun summer craft project is suitable for all ages and requires minimal materials, making it perfect for those moments when boredom strikes during the summer vacation.
To get started, gather your materials: terracotta (clay) flower pots, Sharpie markers in different colors, some newspaper or drop cloth to protect your work surface, and optionally clear sealant to protect your design.
Begin by preparing the pots by cleaning them thoroughly to ensure the marker ink adheres well. Once clean, it's time to unleash your creativity with the Sharpie markers. Make dots of various sizes and colors all over the surface of the pots, creating a fun, decorative look. There's no need for sketching beforehand; you can make patterns freehand.
Allow the Sharpie ink to dry fully to avoid smudging. If you want your decoration to last longer and protect it from water damage, apply a clear sealant spray over the pot once the Sharpie is dry.
Now, plant your favorite summer flowers or herbs in your decorated pots and enjoy the personalized, vibrant touch they bring.
For a more detailed alternative, you can use paint markers or acrylic paint with brushes. However, Sharpies work great for dots and simple patterns. If you prefer a more finished base, consider painting the saucers with outdoor craft paint before decorating the pots with dots.
