  • Unglazed Terracotta pot (Matte/rough surface, not glossy)
  • Large Paint Brush

Using the large paint brush, paint the entire outer surface of the pot using the “Polar” Mural Paint. Be sure to paint around the rim and even a little into the indie of the pot too.

Wash your brush and let the pot dry.

Step Two

Mix equal parts “Polar” and “Pucker” Mural Paints together to create a light pink colour.

Using a large paint brush draw on four circles. These circles need to be placed at half the height of the pot. These will become the cheeks of the pot’s face. Paint them in groups of two, with a little less space between them.

Cheek > Small Gap > Cheek > Large Gap  > Cheek > Small Gap > Cheek > Large Gap.

Wash your brush and let the pot dry.

Step Three

Turn the pot upside down. Using the “Glam Rock” Mural Paint, draw a line around the circumference of the pot that just slightly overlaps the bottom of the cheeks. Paint the entire area from the base of the pot to the line.

Wash your brush and let the pot dry.

Step Four

Turn the pot the right way up. Using the small paintbrush and the “Blacktop” Mural Paint draw a little “Smiley ”mouth in between the two close-together cheeks. The height of the mouth should be in line with the height of the cheeks.

Draw the same slightly curved line to create two closed eyes on either side of the mouth. Draw on little eyelashes.

Wash your brush and let the pot dry.

Step Five

Using the small paintbrush and the “Fury” Mural Paint, draw smaller circles inside the pink cheeks. You can even change up the pattern a little bit for each cheek, maybe one stripy or another with polka-dots.

Step Six

Using the small paintbrush and the “Polar” Mural Paint, create horizontal stripes over the “Glam Rock” area.

To create more detail in the stripes, apply the “Glam Rock” OR “Fury” colour in even finer lines on top of the “Polar” stripes.

Using the small brush and the “Glam Rock” colour, outline the eyes and cheeks.

Wash your brush and let the pot dry.

Step Seven

If you are placing the pot outdoors it’s best to varnish with Jo Sonja Polyurethane Water Based Varnishes.

Fill with soil, your favorite plant and enjoy your wonderful creation!
