Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Clean the ceramic planter with a damp cloth and let it dry completely.
2. If desired, use painter's tape to create patterns or sections on the planter.
3. Choose your paint colors and start applying acrylic paint to the planter using brushes. You can create patterns, shapes, or freehand designs.
4. Let the paint dry completely; this may take 30-60 minutes depending on the thickness.
5. Apply a second coat if necessary for vibrant colors.
6. Once fully dry, carefully remove any painter's tape.
7. Spray the planter with a clear acrylic sealant outdoors or in a well-ventilated area to protect the paint. Follow the sealant instructions for drying times.
