Break a Pot Make A Pot
Sometimes clutzy accidents turn into good projects.
There was a slight mishap photographing the lazy spinning turntable above.
This sweet little white pot with such a pretty design was part of a succulent trio set I bought at Costco. After using it to stage the wooden server I lifted it off to set aside only to bump the chair to the right and .....
CRASH!!!!
It shattered into a pile of shards and the poor little plant had a big pruning but I saved it.
I grabbed this one; again from a previous succulent trio set from Costco that was no longer in use. The whitewashed purple was not the best color for my home. Updating it would be perfect.
After a scrub and dry, I brushed on saltwater from the Dixie Belle silk paint line. This paint has a built in primer: the pots rough exterior naturally will adhere paint great but this is a bonus and top coat: even though I made add a gloss clear coat in the future make it perfect for the plant pot update.
Two coats gave great overage.
So if you break one ... make one!!
Give this paint a try for your next accidental creation :)

Very creative. Good save. Sometimes a mishap makes us think outside the box (or pot) and go with it.
