Painted Flower Pots
Flower pots and containers don't have to be plain. In fact, colourful bold and pretty painted containers add so much more to a sunny windowsill or a shelf that receives a lot of natural light. You only need some acrylic craft paints or Rust-Oleum 2X spray paint to transform a plain plastic, clay pots or galvanised containers into a beautiful display that will brighten up a room.

Craft paint is one of the easiest ways to give inexpensive plant pots a makeover to add colour and interest. And you are only limited by your imagination when it comes to designing your own unique flower pots or colourful plant pots.

Your painted pots can be simple or overflowing with colour and pattern, it is entirely up to you how to decorate your plant pots. Choose vibrant colours to let them pop when out on display, or keep it simple with pastel or neutral hues if that is your preference.
