DIY Copper Rimmed Flowerpot

Happy Thursday, Friends! It's time for this month's Creative Crafts blog hop! Do you have an old flowerpot that could use a little love? Today I'll show you how to give it a fresh look using copper paint!


Thanks to Andrea at Design Morsels for hosting, and if you hopped over after visiting Carol from Bluesky at Home, welcome! Flowerpots can be pricey to replace--especially the large ones! I've been noticing a growing trend of flowerpots featuring different colored rims. To complement the existing copper accents in my garden, I decided to paint the top rim and bottom edge. My pot already had a morning glory sprout coming back, so I started by protecting the plant with plastic. You can see that the pot's top edge was pretty banged up, so I sanded it to smooth the rough edges. Then I used painter's tape before spraying the rim with metallic copper. I really like how it contrasts with both the green  pot and the growing greenery!

  14. What a big difference a little spray paint can make! I love your flower pot refresh, Cecilia. It looks great with all of the other copper accent pieces in your garden. I didn't realize morning glories could come back...I thought they were annuals! It was fun hopping with you :)
