Full question:
Have you ever painted or done a verdigris finish on 15 gallon flower pots…the black plastic ones that shrubbery comes in? I have several and want to recycle them as pretty pots for outdoors.I don’t know how to begin or what paint to use! Thanks
My answer:
I have a bajillion of those myself and LOVE to use them around the house. Painting them isn’t hard with spray paint – that new paint that is used to repaint lawn chairs is the one I would recommend – it’s designed to be used on plastic and outside. Follow directions carefully.
And if you want to try something different, cover them in fabric – I did burlap. I LOVE how these came out. Read about them on the blog here.
