Autumn Crafts - Decoupage - Clay Pot with Fall Pumpkins
Give your house plants the warm look of fall colors by decoupaging paper napkin napkins onto ordinary terracotta pots. The advantage of this technique is that the motifs look as if they have been painted onto the pots. This is great for those with minimal time. The technique is so easy that even school aged children can do it without too much trouble.

Instructions:
1. The first thing you need to do is to base coat your pot twice with yellow paint and let the pot thoroughly dry. This takes about a half an hour in normal room temperature..
2. At the top rim of the pot, paint a brown border if desired and let it dry.
3. Dip your toothbrush in the brown paint and sprinkle paint over the yellow to give the pot an aged look.
4. Follow the step-by-step tutorial in the link below to apply your paper napkin motif. You may wish to cover both sides of your pot with the motifs or just one side.
