Sweeten the pot

Step 1
For glazed pots, first cover them with a coat of Resene Sureseal pigmented sealer. Alternatively, if the ones you’re using are terracotta, you can use Resene Aquapel & Terracotta Sealer.

Step 2
Allow this to fully dry, then apply a coat of Resene Quick Dry waterborne primer undercoat. I decided to make my vases textured so I applied a coat of Resene Non-Skid Deck & Path paint instead of primer. Allow this coat to dry fully before applying your colour.

Step 3
For the indoor vases I took a bunch of random vases and unified them by painting them all with the Resene Lumbersider in Resene Foundry to give a dramatic effect.

Step 4
For the outdoor pots I did various designs, some of which I drew freehand and some I used painter’s masking tape to create crisp, contrasting strips. You’re really only limited by your imagination.
