To make this glittered clay pot you’ll need:

Clay Pot
Base coat paint (any multi-surface white or black)
Testor’s Intense Glitter Brilliance Paint
Popsicle Stick
Paintbrush
Silicone Mat (optional)

Start by painting a quick base coat on the outside of the clay pot. Either white or black are great options for silver glitter. This should only take a few minutes. Set aside to dry.

Once the base coat is dry, open up the glitter paint.

Stir well with a spoon or popsicle stick (the glitter likes to settle to the bottom).

Paint on a quick coat of glitter. Set aside to dry.

Keep adding layers of glitter – each layer should be fairly thin, and only take a few minutes. Keep adding layers until you are happy with the build-up of glitter.

When you’re all done, allow the pot to dry one final time, then add your potted plant.
