Chalkboard Flower Pots

Here is a fun and easy project that can brighten a windowsill, patio, or garden. It's so incredibly easy and a great project for kids too!

What you'll need:

• Chalkboard paint 
• Stencils - (I made my own with stencil sheets I picked up in the craft section at the store)
• Pencil
• Paint brushes - one fine and one about 1/2 wide
• Terra cotta flower pots
• Acrylic paint - optional

Start by drawing your stencil on your terra cotta flower pot.

Once you have your stencil drawn on, use your fine paintbrush to follow the outline of your stencil with the chalkboard paint. Then use your wider paintbrush to fill in the rest of the "label" or stencil you drew on your flower pot. I did 2 coats on my pots, you may need to do a third, but you'll be able to tell once the paint dries. The paint dries relatively fast. I added additional coats within about 3 minutes.

At this point, you can either choose to be done or use acrylic paint and do a little free hand on your flower pots. Now, I'm not super artistic...but it's suppose to be whimsical, so don't let your fear stop you from letting your inner artist out, regardless of whether you're the next Picasso!

Let your pots dry for at least 4 hours. Now your pots are ready for planting!!! Enjoy!!!
