Aged Ikea Plant Pots

I'm tweaking my Ikea plants again today by giving their black pots an aged makeover.

Here's what I used:

- Sample pot of Dulux Hogs Bristle Quarter.

- Acrylic paint in the lovely shade of Moss Green.

- And my Ikea pots.

- Paint brush.

- Cotton wool balls.

It was a bit of "pot luck". Pun intended. Hehe. 

I painted the pots with one coat of Hogs Bristle.

Then I grabbed a cotton ball and dabbed on my moss green paint, blending as I went.

Then I did a dry brush of the Hogs Bristle over the top.

I also used less of the plant in my pot, making it smaller. I used some of the leave to make a cute Easter wreath. :) I'll show you that later.

 I'm pretty happy with how my pots turned out. 

And to compliment the one on our coffee table I placed it in my metal tray with my blue vintage lantern.
