Gather your supplies
- Small, medium and large terracotta pots
- Outdoor paint (we used Dulux Low Sheen Weathershield Acrylic in Nasturcian Flower, Clary and Vivid White)
- Selection of potted colour (we used cineraria, bacopa and Federation daisy)
- House numbers printed on paper
- Undercoat
- Paintbrush
- Fine art brush
- Pencil
- Pot sealer
- Potting mix
- Utility knife
Here’s how
Step 1
Spray inside of pots with sealer. This will reduce porosity of terracotta and prevent potting mix from quickly drying out.
Step 2
Apply undercoat to inner lip and outer surface of pots. Allow to dry, then paint in desired colours.
Step 3
Once dry, cut out numbers. Position them on largest pot and trace. Fill in outline with a fine art brush.
Step 4
Position large pot in desired location and half- fill with potting mix. Place medium-sized pot in large pot and half-fill with potting mix. Repeat with small pot.
Step 5
Plant small pot and sides of larger pots with flowers, then water in well.
