How to Make Color Block Flower Pot

It is easy to transform a simple terra cotta pot into a work of art with just a few simple steps.  

Start by painting the terra cotta white.  Let the first coat dry and then paint a second coat and let that dry.

Once the white coat of paint is dry use the painters’ tape to tape off your design.  I created a color block pattern with intersecting triangles.

Use the Blue Bahama Patio Paint to paint the first color block section.

Next, use the black paint to create a modern brushstroke design inside of the next triangle section.

Now, to paint a coordinating color, I used Sunshine Yellow, in the intersecting triangle next to the two already painted sections.

Carefully remove the tape to reveal your color block design.

Add a colorful flower or plant to your cheerful flower pot.

Elevate your flower pot with a modern plant stand.  I used the Wrought Iron Black Patio Paint to create a bold contrast with the colorful pot.
