Learn how to create whitewashed Terra Cotta pots for a beautifully aged farmhouse spring decoration with this simple technique. Create a simple spring display by adding these to a Spring or Easter Mantel.
Add the white acrylic paint to a small container. Thin the paint with a small amount of water until the paint is runny.
Dip the paintbrush in the paint and then dab off the excess on a dry paper towel.
Lightly brush the paint on the terra cotta pots, making sure to vary the direction of the brush strokes.
Use a slightly damp paper towel to wipe off and smooth out the whitewashed look of your pots.
Add moss and stack several pots together, or add a little birds nest with eggs. You can add wood slices under the pots to add some height and interest to your display.
