Hi everyone! I am so happy to be here at Yesterday on Tuesday,
hanging out with one of the sweetest ladies in bloggyland!
Today I have one of my favorite projects EVER that I am sharing!
But before we jump into that…here is a little bit about me and my blog!
  
Baking, crafting, making a mess or making beautiful things – that is a day in the life at 504 Main. I am Holly and that is my little piece of the blogging world. I make simple crafts and over complicated ones too. I want to be organized…but that has not happened yet. My husband says “baking isn’t my thing” but I just came in first place in a baking competition…so that all kind of proves you never know what is going to happen at 504 Main!

Textured Patio Pots

How to make textured patio pots

Spring is in the air! It is time to enjoy the outdoors…
and if you are like me, my outdoor area needs some serious sprucing up.
There is a lot of space but I am starting little…
like with the deck area…I am so ready for some evenings sitting on the deck,
listening to the waves crash, and just relaxing!

The first step is the outdoor transformation is to get out all of those clay pots that I have done nothing with for 2 years now and giving them a facelift.
 
I had an idea for the pots, a little something more than just painting them…and it worked! I love when my ideas work!

DIY IT!

 
It’s simple to do!
1.  Paint the pot, all over in a solid color (NOTE: I did not do this – I wish I had…I applied my Snow-Tex first…painting it all over would make it easier to fill in those little spaces created when you add the Snow-Tex)

2.  Let dry.

3.  Position the stencil on the pot and secure with painters tape. Shh…don’t tell I cut around my stencil to make it lay flatter on the pot. If you have a larger pot, you would not need too.

4.  Apply the Snow-Tex either with your fingers (like me)…or with a palette knife or old credit card, making sure to fill in all of the spaces…It does not have to be perfect!

5.  Let dry completely!!!! Important, so that you do not smear the Snow-tex when painting.

6.  Once dry, paint all over with base color, Sweet Pea. I applied 2-3 coats.

7.  Once dry, I want a slightly subdued effect, so I mixed some of the Vintage Rose with the Glazing medium in a 1:1 ratio and applied it to the pots. Totally optional!

Ta-da done! And I think it looks amazing and expensive!
 
For the saucer, I used the same process…when I applied the Snow-Tex, I positioned the leaves, then removed one leaf and applied the Snow-Tex to one leaf and let dry, then came back and did the same for the other leaf and finished it off like the pot.
