How to decorate a clay pot: techniques to decorate with decoupage

We want our balcony was beautiful as that of gardening catalogs from home. What's the difference? The attention to detail. have attention to detail means do not leave anything to chance as possible to customize every single item that we have in plain sight. Tiring? Not even that much, if we make the fantasy work.

If you know how to clean terra-cotta pots, you should also know that these vessels can decorate with decoupage to match it to our style and that of our home. How it works? Now we will explain! Take one of the clay pots that are used for plants and prepariamolo going to decoupage the color temperature over the entire surface color can be anything you like but do not believe that will be uniform, because for how many hands we can move, terracotta is a porous material that will absorb the color and mottled aspect giving a little experience.

But this air "consumed" we really like and then let's leave it as is. While the color dries, cut from a roll of paper with floral prints - there are with any type of entity - the flowers that we like and put it on the pot. Before giving the decoupage glue, try different formations to see what works best for our vessel.

Now cover it with clear varnish for decoupage, making sure it adheres to all surfaces. Depending on the thickness of the crop, can be several layers of paint so you do not see a little rise to the surface of the vessel. Do not believe it, but your vessel is decorated and ready, after it has dried well, you can expose it all with pride! Once your work is complete, you can supplement it further with a coat of paint anticante which will give it an old-world charm.

This technique can also provide a good pastime, it will be perfect to give a new style to the old pots, giving them a more appetizing. It is said that you can not even create the series related to each other: all the flowers will have their counterpart in the decoration of the vase that contains them, and so the plants or those fat fruit.

In this way, your balcony will really like the decor magazines!
