4 easy ways to dress up a terra cotta pot, crafts, how to, repurposing upcycling

1. Gold-dipped.

Give your planters the Midas touch by dipping the bottom half in gold paint. Spray with a clear acrylic sealant and let them dry overnight before you start planting.

2. Fabric.

We want to let you in on a little designer secret: that scrap fabric you have stuffed into your craft drawer has a lot of potential. To give a terra cotta planter a pattern, spray an even coat of adhesive on the outside of the pot. Then, quickly and carefully apply your fabric to the pot. Smooth out any edges with a plastic knife and trim any excess fabric with a pair of scissors. That's it!
