A simple way to give your pots a different look is to paint them. And the possibilities are endless. Remember to apply a primer to the clay pots, so that the humidity does not spoil the paint over time. The advantage of painting them yourself is that you can choose the colors and designs that you like the most or that best combine with the place where you are going to place the plant.
2. Messages in a pot

If you use chalkboard paint to cover the pot, you have the possibility to write with chalk the message you prefer: inspiring, motivating, funny … And erase it as many times as you want to put a new phrase. You can also use permanent markers and write or draw directly on the pot or on a coat of paint.
3. Flowerpots decorated with tiles

The mosaic tile is great for decorating pots. Ideally, have a tile cutter on hand, as it will allow you to cut small pieces. Glue them with silicone, for example, and then cover the entire tile surface with a joint putty, which will fill in the gaps between the different pieces. It is easier to use adhesive tiles that can be cut to the size you need.
4. Pots painted with spray paint

Spray paint is a quick and easy option to transform the look of almost any object. Therefore, for our pots it is great, whether they are made of clay, plastic or metal. If you want to give it a hazy finish, once you have painted the entire pot, use different spray colors on the base with small touches so that a little amount of paint comes out. The result is great.

Pot decorated with decoupage
This is probably one of my favorite ways to give flower pots a very special flair. The decoupage is to use printed paper, sticking to the object to be decorated. Ideally, apply a paint base so that the drawing on the paper stands out more. Then you need special glue for decoupage and a little patience, so that the printed paper does not tear when gluing it to the pot. The result is well worth it.
