My boy friends mom just gave me terracotta pot to paint pour over, I was thinking I had to prime it first~ maybe not~ looks cool :) can't wait to do mine.

[@amandasdesignsofficial]

I don't think you need to prime it first (I never have). But once it is dry you will want to finish the inside and outside with waterproof varnish to protect it from water.

[@ArtsyFartsyLovers]

@@amandasdesignsofficial awesome, thank you so much for the waterproof tip~ You are awesome! ~hugs

Neat effect on the clay pots. ---Dave...

Thank you!

[@lesliemichelle1992]

I dont even understand how this video got any downvotes this was so helpful and i wish i wouldve watched about 5 pots ago of trying to drip paint

[@amandasdesignsofficial]

Thank you so much!

[@jennivanrooyen5963]

Good idea

[@amandasdesignsofficial]

Thank you!

[@sarahbeale7650]

Looking great 👍 are you using a medium such as Floetrol as well?

[@amandasdesignsofficial]

Yes I mainly use Floetrol and water to thin down the paint for pouring.

[@danayates9458]

Very pretty. How do these hold up after the pot is wet on the inside from watering? Since the clay is porous?

[@amandasdesignsofficial]

Thank you! I finished the inside along with the outside with waterproof varnish so that the water won't ruin the paint since the clay is porous.

[@claudiane691]

Bonjour ! Merci pour cette superbe idée ! Puis je faire la même chose sur un pot en plastique ?!

[@amandasdesignsofficial]

Thank you! Yes I think you could do this on plastic too.

[@janawest7186]

What do you do with all of your extra paint? These are beautiful!

[@amandasdesignsofficial]

Thank you, I let it dry on the freezer paper and use it for other projects.

[@Katz1950]

Why wouldn’t you put the tape inside to cover the hole and then the bottom outside would be painted?

[@amandasdesignsofficial]

When I've painted the bottoms of these before, they were sticking to the surfaces where I paced them, so I stopped painting them,

[@dsekins]

Do you color the insides of the pots?

[@amandasdesignsofficial]

No, but I finish the inside with a waterproof varnish.

[@maryjones7851]

Amanda love your work. What is your ratio for mixing your paint? Mine runs off the side and I lose my design.

[@amandasdesignsofficial]

For things like this I keep it a lot thicker. Glue and paint work well to keep it nice and thick.

[@marydonald3453]

Beautiful work, but too much wasted paint, at the base. I think, if pot were wet-coated with any color, before pour, paint would slide quicker, finish sooner and save 50 of the waste. Another option: Place a canvas beneath and paint a second object.

[@amandasdesignsofficial]

Thanks for the tips!
