Easy Copper Plant Pots

by JosieFeather

I love the look of classic clay pots for plants, but if you want to dress them up a little, but still keep them looking classic and simple, why not add a little copper to them?

All you need are your pots, some painters tape, copper strapy paint, and some cute plants!

Starting with clean clay pots, I used some basic painters tape from the hardware store to tape off the designs I wanted (you can also use some newspaper too, to block off any over spray on the parts you want to keep clay).

I then used Rustoleum's Hammered Copper spray paint and sprayed them down outside, over some newspaper (don't be afraid to go a little heavy, this paint actually has a really interesting effect when it's a little runny!), and then allowed them to dry for several hours.

That spray paint and the Oiled Hammered Bronze make amazing transformations on metals---any cheap metal can be much improved with it but you do have to be somewhat heavy handed--several coats are your friend. You want it to not look completely "smooth" when you are spraying it ; it will dry with a level finish but a depth that looks like real worked metal. I have done several out door tables and it looks great; also a number of other things and all have held up well in the frozen North!
