I turned an ordinary drab clay pot into a pretty little pot for my plant. I painted the pot white, doing about 4 coats and let dry. Then with our peony chalk paste and our polka dots transfer I added dots all the way around. Then I chalked the edges of the pot and saucer with the peony paste and added a ribbon and a bow.

BRINGING JOY TO YOU BRENDA
