DIY Tiered Flower Pots



Few days ago as i was browsing and wasting my time on Pinterest as i needed some inspiration for the pots i have left over from last year, i ran across this cute idea of making tiered flower pot . I thought why have i never thought about this before?



I had all the things i needed:

Pots
Paint
Rod




Now i remember why i put these to one side.  They are completely scratched and weather-worn.




First thing was to paint them.  I used the same colour paint as i used when i painted the Antique stencilled terracotta pots.  It looks a completely different colour in the next three photographs, i am not sure why.

I used an upturned pot inside the larger one to give the smaller top pot height.















I thought that the top pot would be more secure by putting a rod through the upturned pot and the top pot.




I had to put this next picture on, to give credit to my little helper.  Please meet 3hree my cat.  I have had him since he was first born.  His mother lived next door and the neighbours moved out and she came back, so we adopted her, little did we know that she was pregnant at the time.  3hree was the third kitten in the litter to be born, hence the name.

The colour looks better in this photo, more like the same colour as the Antique stencilled terracotta pots

DIY Milk Paint Recipe

After the outstanding results I received with the DIY CHALK PAINT , if you read my sideboard , rocking chair or toy chest posts, you will have seen the amazing results that the chalk paint made. So this time  i thought i would test out a milk paint recipe What you need: 4 parts milk powder 1 part bicarbonate of soda 1 part pigment 6 parts cold water Patience  The method is pretty simply. All you need to do is mix the milk, bicarbonate of soda and pigment powders together then add the water and stir well. Leave the paint to sit for 1 hour then stir again and paint. (I know, i know you probably will want to get painting you project, but if you can wait – you will get better outcomes - try watching an episode of  Once Upon a Time... oh lord, my sister and i are addicted) The milk paint dries quickly so once you’ve started using it and be careful not go back over areas, as you can wipe the paint back off. Even though it is touch dry in about 15 min...
