Steps

  • Step 1

    Pour a single color of paint into a smaller plastic cup. Add white, black or another, complementary color to create new shades. If your paint is too thick, add 1 tsp of water to thin it out.

  • Step 2

    Protect your work surface with recycled newspaper before placing a small plastic cup in the center. Maker sure your cup fits inside the opening of your flower pot. Place your flower pot on top of your cup, upside down.

  • Step 3

    Pour paint around the edges of your flower pot to create a drip dye effect. Tip: Vary the colors to create a marbled effect.

  • Step 4

    Let dry completely before picking up and removing the cup. Add flowers, stationery or other items for a colorful piece of decor.
