DIY Terrazzo Planters
Terrazzo print has been at the top of the interior trend lists for a while now and is an
easy way to add a pop of colour to your décor.
In this project, craft designer SophieTarrant shows you how to create this colourful effect at home using Rust-Oleum paints.
What you will need
Steps
Clean your pots thoroughly. Move them to a well-ventilated space and place on top of a large dust sheet or some old newspapers.
Spray with Rust-Oleum Surface Primer and allowing to dry. Next, apply two thin layers of Chalky Finish Furniture Paint the pot, again allowing it to dry in between each coat.
Take a dry, stiff-bristled paint brush and dip the tip into a small pot of Rust-Oleum Painter’s Touch, a multi-purpose, water-based paint for both interior and exterior projects. Use your finger to draw back the bristles and flick small specks of paint all over the plant pot, then leave to dry.
Use a fresh, smaller paintbrush and several different colours of Painter’s Touch to add a variety of differently shaped and sized coloured blobs across the plant pot to mimic a terrazzo design. Don’t worry about making them match, in fact the more random
they are, the better.
Finish off by adding two light coats of Rust-Oleum Crystal Clear Protective Coat Spray to protect your plant pot from knocks and bumps, leaving to dry between each one.
