How to Gold Leaf Flower Pots for St.Patrick's Day
by
Paula Biggs
St. Patrick's Day isn't a holiday that we bust out the big gun decorations for. Because really, Leprechauns are a little scarier than Santa Claus. Probably why all the kids want to catch them in traps instead of feed them cookies. Still, it's fun to be festive, so a few little touches around the house are a great way to celebrate. Understated and simple, these lucky gold leaf flower pots are a great solution to a seasonal decorating dilemma.
Gold leafing isn't difficult--it's just takes a little time and patience. You can find all the supplies you need at the craft store. There is special gold leafing paint, but in a pinch, white glue will work just fine.
On the blog, there are detailed steps to stenciling with gold leaf. As well as a "cheater's" way to make a stencil.
There are also instructions to cover a larger area with gold leafing.
And how to properly finish the project to get it ready to hold those lucky plants!
