Plant pot sponging......x


Firstly thank you so much for all your lovely words of wisdom r.e big bumblebee's trip. Update....she's on her way home, and I might just pop with excitement!

Secondly today, what does one do on a rainy day? WHY Get the paint brushes out and change a plant pot, that's what, tis obvious non?


You Need:
One faded plant pot.
Two paint colours. ( I used some old Annie Sloan and Farrow and Ball )
Brushes.
An old sponge.
Scissors. 





Paint pot in desired background colour. I used my Annie Sloan white, as no prep needed....



Two good coats will do it. Meanwhile cut out a circle ( I used a prit stik lid as a template ) from an old sponge...try to make it as neat as possible. 



Using your next paint colour dip your circle of sponge, and add in a random fashion to your pot.....easy?




Peasy?..............................

One cheerful plant pot, especially on rainy days like these.xxxxx
