I love these galvanized numbered pots from Farmhouse Wares.
Photo: Farmhouse WaresSo I made some knock offs...........
using inexpensive terra cotta pots and spray paint.
1. I primed the pots with an inexpensive primer. The pot will soak up the paint, a couple of coats of primer will fix that. Let that dry.2. A shot of my favorite silver paint. Let that dry.
3. I added a wash of black paint with a damp paper towel. I smear it on and then rub around until I'm happy. Let that dry.
4. I sealed them with a shot of clear sealer. Let that dry!
The number plaques are foam board, I cut out ovals and painted.
They are not an exact match but they make me happy.We planted mint in them. There is a plant in pot #2 it's just so small it's hidden!
I'll be sharing HERE.

These are so cute. I wouldn't have guessed they were terra cotta!
They look darned close and I'm sure the price was much better!
Those are so cute, I just love the tags!
