Lime-washed pots
◼ Tara's clever outdoor makes - Home Beautiful .au
You will need:
• Terracotta pots
• Garden lime
• Artist’s acrylic paint in white
• Paintbrush
• Sandpaper, if required
Method:
1. Mix a little water and white paint with the dry lime. (Available from the gardening section at hardware stores). It should feel like wet sand.
2. Using brush, apply lime wash around pot, dabbing here and there to create a slightly patchy effect.
3. Once pot is dry, either leave textured or, for a smoother finish, use fine sandpaper to lightly rub over and remove the excess lime.
