Step 1

Start by covering a large work surface with 2-3 layers of newspaper, or line with a disposable plastic tablecloth.

Step 2

Cover the hole in the bottom of the pot using painter’s tape. This will keep the paint from dripping through.

Step 3

Paint the outside of the terra cotta pot with white paint, including the rim. Do not paint the inside of the pot.

Step 4

When white paint is dry, place the pot upside down onto a jar or similar cylindrical object to keep the pot suspended.

Step 5

Choose a color of paint to start with. Squeeze enough of that color onto the bottom of the pot, enough to cover the bottom so that it begins dripping over.

Step 6

Next, squeeze the second and any additional colors slow and sparingly in the areas you want those colors to drip down. The rest is up to you! Use as little or as much as you want, and as few or as many colors you want.

Step 7

Now you have to be patient and wait. It can take anywhere from 24-72 hours to dry, depending on how much paint you used.

Step 8

If you will be planting any live plants in your pot, be sure to use a skewer, fork or knife to poke a hole through the paint and the painters tape. This will allow for drainage as the original pot intended.

Step 9

You can paint a terra cotta trap to go with your pot!
