There is something very satisfying about intentionally dumping paint and watching it run. And at 50 cents a pop for a basic terra cotta pot, why not? Especially when the results are this cute.

Step 2

One color at a time, pour a generous amount of paint onto the base of your planter, so much so that it drips down the sides.

Step 3

Do not allow paint to dry in between colors, but do give each color a few minutes to run down the sides of the pot. Add as many colors as you like.

Step 4

Step 5
