DIY Aged Pots With a Transferred Vintage Image

I have a shelf in my garden shed full of pots that aren't being used. I recently experimented with paint and vintage graphics and by adding both, my pots now are fun and decorative. A coat of sealer insures that the pots can be used outdoors.
To create the aged effect, I put a small amount of paint on a brush and dabbed it on a paper towel until almost no paint was left. I then applied the paint to the pot.
Tape a piece of tissue paper to a sheet of paper and print the desired image. (Mine came from The Graphics Fairy.) Apply to the pot with Mod Podge.
Add another coat of Mod Podge to the image and when dry, coat the pot with sealer if using outdoors.
