Textured Planter
I keep seeing beautifully textured white vases and planters online and in the stores (ahem Target). I personally can't justify $40+ on a small planter. So let's try to DIY one!
Have had this planter from the -not dollar spot - at target for over a year. It's still very functional just not my colors anymore.
I mixed one part white paint to 1 part baking soda (actual measurements differ for your preferred texture). I painted the first coat on.
I then added some coarse black pepper for texture to the remaining paint. I used about a teaspoon- again whatever you prefer here! no rules

After the paint dried I used some wood stain to add some dimension and movement to the planter. I really like the aged look the stain gives it.
Here it is finished I used some rub n buff for the tray at the bottom and I love the contrast between the two. If you do this, be sure to seal the planter with a polyurethane spray. There is a video of this available on my instagram highlights "Textured Planter". Id love for you to follow me there for large diy, small diy, lifestyle, and recipes. @Beingjsmith

Frequently asked questions
Have a question about this project?
doesn't spraying with polyurethane prevent the planter from allowing evaporation from the plant's soil?
So the baking soda turns the paint to chalk paint?
What type of white paint did you use?
