Hiya guys! Hope you’ve all had a good
bank holiday weekend!
For
this week on the blog, I fancied doing a wee 5-minute DIY! A super easy little project that can be done
hardly anytime at all!
This
week’s DIY will be about decorating some wee flower pots that I managed to pick
up!
What I used:
·
Three small flower pots (under £5 all together)
·
Gold leafing pen
·
Masking tape and skinny washi tape
·
Art masking fluid
·
Small paint brush
These
wee colourful clay flower pots for under a fiver…total bargain!!
This
metallic gold leafing pen is great as the colour goes on quite opaque.
No need to go over again!
Little flower pot #1: Gold block
colour pattern!
Firstly,
I taped over the parts of the surface where I didn’t want any colour, using the
masking tape. I then thought I would use
the skinny washi tape to break up the big block into little blocks of all
different sizes and shapes! Therefore,
creating a geometric look!
Ta
Dah!
Little flower pot #2: Dotty pattern!
I
bought this art masking fluid from a stationary shop a couple days ago and I
thought I would try it out. I know it’s
only really meant for paper, but it worked quite well on the surface of the
flower pot.
It’s
kind of like glue to be honest, so if you don’t have this, you might be able to
use PVA glue instead!
So,
all I did was paint on the design I wanted, let it dry completely - which only
took a couple minutes - then I went crazy with the dots!
Once
the ink was dry, I peeled off the masking fluid to reveal the part of the
surface that hadn’t been dotted! I then
just used the pen to neaten up the line of the un-dotted part.
Basically,
it’s kind of like the cup that I made in my ‘Mother's
Day DIY gift ideas!’ post.
Little flower pot #3: Freehand line
pattern!
For
the last pot I ust used the pen to draw
lines from the bottom upwards - quick lines that went halfway up, creating
a sort of ombré
look
from green to gold!
This
one only took a minute or two to do, so it was by far the easiest one of the
three!
However,
I’m not sure if the gold and green really complement each other? Ah well, maybe I will block it in so it is all
gold and leave the inside the lovely green colour?
Finished little flower pots!!
I
loved these before they were beautified and I love them even more now!!
They
would definitely look lovely on a desk or dressing/make-up table for storing
all your bits ‘n’ bobs!
Anyway guys, thank you SO SO much for
reading! I hope you enjoyed
this post J and I will catch you all next time!
Have a fab week and take care! Xxx
