easy burlap wrapped painted terra cotta pot

Make an easy burlap wrapped painted terra-cotta pot in under 15 minutes. Plus or minus a couple of minutes for drying time. Paint is one of the fastest and cheapest ways to give a dash of color to totally change the look of a piece. I’m not kidding when I say it can totally change the look – check out this buffet I used chalk paint on a few years ago. Start small if you are new to painting.  A painted terra-cotta pot is a great way to begin.

Instructions for painted terra-cotta pot

1. Wash and dry terra-cotta pot to remove any debris. Make sure the terra-cotta pot is completely dry before painting. If there are any rough spots sand it before you wash it.

   

2. Paint the pot with the black paint. Sand if needed and apply additional coat of paint and allow the painted terra-cotta pot to dry.

   

3. Cut burlap to size and glue in place.

Tip to cut burlap straight

Pull a single strand of the burlap all the way from one side to the other.

Where the strand is missing is where you will cut and boom, you have a straight edge. Repeat for the other side of your burlap.
