How to Decorate a Ceramic Storage Pot

Start by applying a base coat of paint all over the pot and lid. You should use a light colour for this. I have used the Pink Pebeo Acrylic Paint. You can also paint the inside of the pot and lid if you wish.

You will then add a second colour to different sections of the pot once the base layer is dry. I have kept all my colours light as I want the dark colour floral design to stand out.

Here I have applied masking tape. This is to give the shapes nice, crisp lines. (It is optional if you wish to use masking tape). I have then applied Apricot and added a second layer once dry to make the colour stands out better.

Once the Apricot is dry peel off the masking tape and repeat the pervious step two more times. I have used White and Caramel for the other colours but you can add as many colours as you like!

Once the paint is dry and you are happy with the colours take a pencil and draw out the floral design.

I have then used the Dark Green Pebeo Paint to go over the pencil design using a fine brush (here I have used the Daler Rowney 10/0 brush). I have used the Dark Green as I want this colour to contrast with the lighter colours used for the background to ensure the floral design stands out. I have also painted over the pattern a second time to give the green a more vibrant colour. Once dry rub out any pencil lines if needed.

Finally, apply Mod Podge to seal the paint.

Here you have your finished Storage Pot!
