Succulent Painted Pot DIY
Supplies:
- 8″ terra cotta pot
- Variety of cacti & succulents
- Soil
- Foam paint brush
- Paint (I mixed pearlized pink, red and white together to get a watermelon pink)
- Black Sharpie
Directions:
Step 1: Mix together a pearlized pink, red, and white paint to get a pretty watermelon pink shade. Paint the pot with 2-3 coats of watermelon pink paint, letting the paint dry between each coat.
