You will need:
- 6 inch Terra Cotta Pot
- Delta Ceramcoat Antique White
- Delta Ceramcoat Lavender
- Delta Ceramcoat Crocus Yellow
- Delta Ceramcoat Jay Blue
- Delta Ceramcoat Alpine Spruce
- Delta Ceramcoat Med Flesh
- Delta Ceramcoat Antique Rose
- Delta Ceramcoat Kelly Green
- Foam Brush
- Q-tips
- Round brush
- Miricle sponge
- Scissors
- Spray-on sealer
Instructions:
1) Begin by painting the terra cotta pot Antique White. Let it dry.
2) Cut the miricle sponge into an egg shape approximately 2.5 inches
tall.
3) Wet sponge and allow it to expand, wring it out.
4) Add lots of a pastel color paint to the sponge and then stamp it
near the bottom of the pot (Refer to the pictures for placement).
5) Wash out sponge and add another egg (in another color).
6) Continue until you have 4 or 5 eggs around the bottom. Try and make
them lean in different directions like they are sitting in your lawn.
7) Once the eggs have dried decorate the eggs with the q-tips. I make
poka-dots, cross hatching and fs (five dots in a circle with a yellow
dot center.)
8) Let the decorations dry completely. Now using 2 color of greens sponge
grass along the base of the pot. A a couple of blade of grass around the
eggs with the round brush.
9) Using a flat brush add a checker board pattern in one of the pastel
colors around the lip of pot.
10) Let it dry completely and then spray with a sealer.
