“Are you my mother?”

Thank you for entertaining me and reading quite possibly the worst cactus joke I’ve ever read! I was looking for good cactus jokes to start this off and honestly, they were all bad, however I probably chose the one that was most terrible and slightly confusing.

To start off this super easy DIY, all you will need is:

• orange paint
• white paint
• paintbrush
• plate
• cacti
• planters of different sizes

I started off by using just the orange paint on my first planter. When I got to the next planter I added more white paint to the plate and mixed them very well so the colors wouldn’t be streaky.

Near the end I ended up with this color, but obviously you can adjust everything until you get your desired color.

You can arrange them by shade, but I personally really loved organizing them randomly because it made the colors pop a little more and balanced the whole look out!

Here are a few ways to spruce up those $1 pots from Home Depot!

You’ll need:

• a paintbrush
• twine
• pots
• masking tape
• white paint
• gold sharpies

1. Take the planter and tie twine around the middle of the pot. Then take paint and cover the bottom half.

2. Take tape and make a diagonal pattern. Then take the paint and cover the spaces. Take the tape off once you’re done and BOOM a beautiful and quick pattern!

3. Put two pieces of tape on the pot to make a triangular pattern. Then paint the triangle to create a nice geometric look. I forgot to take a photo of the final look, but you can see it in the last photo!

4. I call this one cute, calm, and collected. I think this might be my favorite pot out of all of them! I painted the whole outside white and then took a gold sharpie to do the face. A paint marker might work better with the paint, but the sharpie did the job!

And there you have it! The cutest little pots you ever did see! They were so easy to paint. It probably took less than 45 minutes to do them all and they create such a fun look!
