So I was at my local dollar store and found a pair of plain white Faux Topiary Pots and I thought to myself that it would be a great addition to my Outdoor Space. Keeping real plants alive in my house is quite the struggle so faux plants is the way to go for me as they are super low maintenance.

Tutorial for DIY Textured Dollar Store Pots

Step 1

Coral paint color to be used on the DIY Textured Dollar Store Pots

So the game plan for these pots were to create a layered textured look. I first decided to paint both the dollar store post with a base color.

One of the pots I painted in a gorgeous Coral color.

I just painted half off the pot as the upper portion I was going to use textured paints.

For the other pot I used a beautiful Lavender color.

I did the same thing as I did with the other which was using a round fluffy brush only painting the bottom half of the pot.

Let the Pots dry before you move onto the next step.

Step 2

This is the fun part where you get to play around with some Texture paints.

To create the gorgeous textured look you need to use palette knives or else you won’t be able to get the beautiful layered look with regular paint brushes.

Palette knives are pretty inexpensive and the ones I use came in a pack of 18 or so palette knives which I have listed in the material supplies above as well.

I really enjoy these knives as I have used it to transform my Ikea Ivar Cabinets into a Buffet Table. You can read all about it in my Bright and Bold Dining Room Makeover post. I also just recently used it to create a gorgeous Flower Clock as well.

So I was going to use four different colors of texture paints and each one was going to be layered one after the after.

I started off with the Rose Gold Textured paint.

Dip the palette knife into the textured paint and using the backside of the knife apply the paint. I went in with vertical strokes and repeated it all around the pot.

Then I layered on this gorgeous Plum color using the same method.
