I thought the same thing - unless maybe trying it with sharpies and then baking it like a mug?

@Brandi Lynn Those pots are plastic so they wouldn't bake well.

Use Modge Podge for outdoors. I have a bench I did with it years ago and it has lasted amazingly well.

@Jill Jacoby

I never used M.P. I'll give it a try!

@Djgeorgiou I bet you they would last about a month before the damp inside the pot destroyed the glue. Some of these ideas look great, but would last as long as they did not get wet or have a real plant in them ")

@SharonJ I was painting terra cotta pots in the 70s (before anyone else! :-) ) and it lasts for years as long as you apply a clear sealant to both the inside and the outside. Helps the soil retain moisture, as well.

@Carolyn Smith The ones with the transfers are not plastic--they're terra cotta, as djgeorgiou says, so they could be baked. But applying a clear sealant would work as well, or better.

Pardon? Can you be a bit more specific, please? Would be glad to help if I can but not sure what you are asking.

You can seal them with polyurethen in spray can

Pva glue works as well

And, plant your plant in a plastic planter that fits inside the decorated pot.

You can also get Mod podge the seals. It is even dishwasher safe if you cure it correctly.

You don't need to buy them. You print them out form the internet and do a transfer depending ont he type of printer you have. Look up a tutorial. The other answer would be to buy a stencil but that is expensive. You could also cut your own stencil but its very time consuming.

Esty has some nice paper napkins. I like paper napkins for some projects because you can separated the ply and have something very thin to work with..I also found some interesting napkins at a party store where they sell balloons etc.

Graphysfairy.com. even has instruction on how to transfer onto different mediums. Great site and free graphics

Thanks for the info. I will definitely heck it out.

Spray with poly

If you want the colors to last, look for a spray finish with UVA filter included.

Also. Spray the inside ,or the moisture will lift off the paint.(on clay pots). You can also paint the plastic pots.

You can get sand and stone textured spray paint at walmart or any home improvement store! It works great!

Glue

I bet you could also use Epsom Salts,but you might have to keep it inside. Would like to try it.

You can decoupage plastic containers. You can also spray paint them with paint for plastic. You certainly don't have to have terra cotta.

Yes you can, the same as you do Terra Cotta. Sherry Hampton :)

I made this pot and used a hot glue gun. One in the house and used colored rope for patio

liquid nail will hold longer. You could also use carpet glue. Both are better options.

You probably can especially if you spray the painted container with a spray sealer.

Thanks

If you seal with an indoor/ outdoor varnish OR use a spray paint

Michaels or Hobby Lobby or JoAnn's has spray paint for plastic, I can't think of the name but they can help you.

I used pva glue as a primer,then used cuprinol paint left over from painting garden shed a couple of coats was enough and finished off with a coat of yacht varnish from the £1 shop. The pots are ready for 3rd summer and still in tip top condition.

Lowes and Home Depot have the spray paint that will cover plastic. But the Kilz is a great idea too!!

Krylon spray paint plus clear spray on sealer will last for years.

rustoleum universal

At True Value we carry Rusolium's 2X line. We love these. They will stick to nearly anything and there are sooo many colors to chose from!

Best for plastic pots is any brand that is made to use specifically on plastic.

Rustoleum actually has a spray paint for plastic that works great. Find it in a home improvement store.

Krylon colormaxx is good. it's a primer and color.

Water paint

True dollar stores have them. Family Dollar and Dollar General are not just dollar stores. Dollar Tree is

Real Deal stores have them for a dollar

I have bought some pots similar to those at Dollar Tree, but not near that big.

I Found them at the 99c store

Yes! There is a huge difference in Dollar "Tree" and the Dollar stores. (General, Family Dollar, etc..) Dollar Tree!!!

is the only one that has a good supply of things and everything really IS just $1.00 -

Dollarama in Ontario

Dollar Gen is where I got mine

Got mine from Dollar General.

Big pots are from Dollar General. They were $10 each this spring/summer of 2018;

See lots of these at 99Cents Only stores and at King Dollar Stores, but other stores have them as well, just not for $1

I found my pots at Dollar General in Newton, NC

Some of the "Dollar Tree" stores have the larger pots.

dollar tree

I get them at Dollar Tree

Dollar Tree

99 cent store they just cost $1.99

Dollar Tree has pots.

Dollar tree

They are usually in short supply at the dollar stores I go to. But job lot has a bigger supply - more than $1.00 but still cheeper than any other stores.

99' store

You can only find these in the spring and fall. They are seasonal.

Not at a Dollar Tree store, but it gives me an idea to look at a Thrift Store and buy a good quality flower pot and recycle with paint or decoupage.

I have seen quite a few large ones for less than five dollars.

Liquid Nails or E6000. Nails would be very bad for any kind of plastic or pottery.

Possibly hot glue!

Only problem with hot glue...it softens up and lets go in the sun!

I'm sure

the decoupage will make it waterproof

Hey, i'm from Romania. Here i use yogurt buckets as flower pots.

They make a waterproof Mod Podge
