Holiday Garden Pots

This year, we decided to make more handmade gifts for Christmas. Since indoor/outdoor containers are great for any climate, I bought terra cotta pots and painted them using spray paint and acrylics. The orange Ikat design was easy to do:

1) Paint your pot white (or whatever color you want your design to be).

2) Trace 8 Ikat shapes onto sticky contact paper. (four for bottom, four for the top)

3) Affix contact paper to pot. (Most pots are curved so you may have to trim your design slightly to make it fully stick.)

4) Paint your pot orange.

5) Let dry and carefully remove contact paper.

6) Show off pot to everyone you know. (optional)
