I've been working on a front porch makeover and as part of that, I've made over some of my old flower pots. I took inspiration from East Coast Creative's color blocked planters featured in my Must Do Monday planter round up and made my own. I started with an old plastic planter with a removable bottom tray. It was certainly in need of some TLC. This photo was taken after I washed it off. With a little spray paint, I soon had this: I chose my colors for my planter using a striped pillow I had just purchased for my porch makeover as inspiration. To start, I taped off the top rim. I'm not a good painter so I had to do this. I still had some overspray but since I was using black in the middle I didn't worry too much about it. If I were using a color that wouldn't cover, I would have taped further down. I painted the top rim with Krylon Fusion for plastics in Sunbeam (gloss). I painted the inside of the rim as well since this might show. O
