Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Clean the ceramic planter surface with a damp cloth to remove any dust or dirt and let dry completely.
2. Use painter’s tape if you want to create sharp lines or geometric patterns on the planter.
3. Choose your acrylic paint colors and start painting your design on the planter. Use thin coats for even coverage and let each layer dry before applying another.
4. Add details or patterns using smaller paintbrushes once the base coat is dry.
5. Let the painted planter dry completely for a few hours or overnight.
6. Once dry, apply a sealant spray evenly over the painted surface to protect your artwork from water and sunlight.
7. Allow the sealant to dry as per the product instructions before using the planter.
8. Plant your favorite small plants or succulents and display your unique creation.
