Happy Monday my loves! I haven't written a blog post for agessss so thought I'd check in and say HELLO, this was a creative project I did at the weekend, you guys loved it on Instagram so I thought I'd share it on my blog in case you'd like to re-create!

WHAT YOU'LL NEED:

1.) Plant pot - I bought these two from Homebase; 15cm: £1 & 12cm: £1.50

2.) Plant Pot saucer - 19cm £1.75 (I'm going to use this as a candle holder / plate!)

3.) Paint brushes

4.) Paint - I used Frenchic "Dazzle Me and Blackjack" (tester paint pots will work really well for this!)

Step One:

Paint your pots / saucer with the base colour, I used Frenchic Dazzle Me (white), and Frenchic Blackjack (black) for my base colours. I used a thick brush and gave the white 2 coats and the black 3. They dried so quickly so I was ready to get going with my designs in no time!

Step Two:

It's time to paint your design! I browsed on Pinterest before hand and found so many cool designs so if you're stuck for inspo then that's a great place to start! If you're worried about painting the design then you can draw it on in pencil first to get it how you want it then paint!

Et voila - your pots & saucers are complete in two really simple steps! I loved painting these, it was super cheap to create and fun to do too!
