Painting terracotta clay pots is a super easy way to make them over so that they better match your home decor. Terracotta pots are so cheap and easy to find, and you can make them look even better with a bit of easy-to-find acrylic craft paint or spray paint. Here's how I paint my pots to seal them and avoid the paint bubbling and chipping.

Great info! I had a bunch of questions rolling around, keeping me from getting started and you answered them all. I think I'll compromise by doing black geometric designs with lots of negative space so I keep as much of the moisture-wicking properties of the terracotta. Thanks!!

Yep, that's a good idea! Have fun with it!

@claudiabcano2816 2 года назад

Thank you for the tutorial. Quick question what color is the one you used with the white pot, is it gold? And last, what brand do you use for outside? Thanks!

@ByBrittanyG 2 года назад

It's Antique Bronze by the company DecoArt! For outdoors, I just use any acrylic paint labeled "outdoors"--DecoArt has a Patio Paint line, but there are many others!

@amg3545 3 года назад

Hi there! Thank you for the great vid! Questions..when sealing the pot prior to painting, do you spray inside and outside? Also if you are only painting the lower portion of a pot, should you still seal the entire pot or just where you will be painting? Lastly, do you seal after painting as well? Thanks! :)

@ByBrittanyG 3 года назад

Hi!! I seal the inside and outside. Theoretically just sealing the outside would work, but I generally do both just to make sure no moisture can get through. I don't seal over top of the paint if i'm using an acrylic paint that is self-sealing (like a lot of DecoArt's paints). Have fun painting!!

@@ByBrittanyG Do you waterseal the whole pot or just the inside of it?

@saraazimian9590 2 года назад

Thank You very cool. How long does it take to dry?

@ByBrittanyG 2 года назад

Depends, I usually set mine under a ceiling fan to speed along the drying process, but the paint you use should have a dry time on its bottle!

@AnnM847 Год назад

Thanks for the tutorial. I painted a concrete pot with acrylic paint (navy blue) which came up really well but I wanted to paint a band of rose gold round the bottom. i ordered deco art rose gold metallic paint but i was really disappointed as its not very opaque , very transparent and just looks like a shine rather than paint. I dont think I would achieve the solid colour Im looking for even with multiple layers. Am i doing something wrong? Should I use a spray paint instead?

@ByBrittanyG Год назад

Hi! I think it depends on the color. I found that Antique Bronze usually took 2-3 coats to get an opaque finish. Definitely more than one coat with the shimmery/shiny colors.

@alex.chivu. 2 года назад

Hey, love the pots! Question, clay pots are also great for helping the plant breathe, but I’m unsure if I want to give that up. Is there something you recommend to help keep this factor or is there nothing I can do and it’s either I give that up or not paint it at all.

@starlite369 2 года назад

THIS

@user-db4eb1zy6i 2 года назад

Pretty much once you paint them you give up that up.

@ByBrittanyG 2 года назад

Yep, you definitely give that benefit up. However, I've found that the high absorption of the clay is actually too drying for some plants, so just consider the plant's needs before planting it in a painted, glazed, or plastic pot :)

@18MelCR Год назад

By using a penetrating sealant that gets absorbed into the clay, the pot should still be breathable. Hope this helps

@kuteluvv Год назад

So would this work for making candles? I want to paint the pots stylish, but do I also need the waterproof sealer since I'm not using them for plants?

@whimsyindira1424 2 года назад

What's about using plaster of paris as white washing the pot . Does that works???

@ByBrittanyG 2 года назад

I've never tried that, sorry!

@maragonzalez752 Год назад

How long do you let the aerosol Thompsons spray dry before painting?

@ByBrittanyG Год назад

Usually a few hours, sometimes I'll spray at night and then paint in the morning :)

@marimarrosa2955 Год назад

Hi! Which brand do you recommend as primer and set?

@ByBrittanyG Год назад

I don't have a ton of preference, but I like Thompson's Water Seal as a reputable brand, and I mostly use DecoArt acrylic paints!

@BilalAli-qn7gh Год назад

Thank you so much! What’s the name of the golden rose color on the pictures? The DecoArt Americana Acrylic Paint on amazon has “brunze, champagne gold, soft gold, and vintage brass”

It is Antique Bronze!

@mandisamqolombeni425 5 месяцев назад

Hi. Would it be a terrible idea to plant immediately after painting? Planting a succulent.

@ByBrittanyG 4 месяца назад

As long as the paint has dried to the recommended time on the bottle, I'd say it's fine

Do you have to use a sealant if you spray paint the pots

@ByBrittanyG 3 года назад

I would, to help prevent the paint from bubbling

@kimfroman2023 2 года назад

I primed with the seal and spray painted and still had the paint bubble off. Now have to start over.

@Drjjjones420 Год назад

Is it bad to paint then my bd said that cus the pots breath…. I was like …is that true

@ByBrittanyG Год назад

Yes that's true actually! The terracotta clay is absorbant, which is great for some plants. Painting it will seal the clay, so that removes the "breathing" ability (which is really just the pot soaking in excess water). It's not a big deal for many plants though.

@Drjjjones420 Год назад
