Mod DIY Striped Daisy Planter

April 27, 2018~ Decor, DIY and craft projects, gardening, painting

Because it’s Spring, I’ve got flowers and planters on my mind! I’ve got primroses, gerbera daisies and more, waiting to be re-potted outside or just given more room to grow. DecoArt has rolled-out a new series of matte metallic paints, and I thought I’d try my hand at painting something with them. I’m going to be brutally honest, I started making two things (as some of the initial photos will indicate) but one of them didn’t turn out (or did it?) so it’s not pictured here, but may find its way into another post later. In the meantime my Mod DIY Striped Daisy Planter is a bold punch of pattern in the studio kitchen.

Would you believe that I initially made it as an office trashcan for near my desk? I ended-up changing my mind once I saw how cute it was. PLUS, I’m not sure if these daisy appliques could stand up to the rigors of office trash bin.

Materials required for a Mod DIY Striped Daisy Planter

  • Metal (Tin press?) container – I got mine at the thrift store and thought it was a trash can originally, but it could have been a decorative planter already.
  • DecoArt Chalky Finish paint in Everlasting, DecoArt Acrylic paint in black
  • DecoArt Matte Metallics in Gold
  • Painter’s tape
  • Metal flowers

Step 1: Paint your planters in a white base using the chalky finish. I am a total convert to it – it sticks to anything and everything – so when I’m painting something that’s already got a finish, I start with that.

Step 2: Using painter’s tape, add vertical stripes. I really like the 3M brand of tape, so far it’s the only one that doesn’t bleed.

Step 3: Paint the exposed parts using the black paint. Once dry, peel back the tape. You know how it goes. As you can see, there were parts I missed using a roller, so I busted-out a brush to do any touch-ups.

Step 4: Because I wanted a touch of class about it, I tipped the rolled rim, and the little round feet, in gold. The DecoArt matte metallics were perfect for this – they go on like enamel, but without the smell.

Step 5: While all of this was going on, I used DecoArt’s patio paint in marigold, to add colour to the centre of the metallic daisies. Once they were dry, it was time to glue them onto the front of the planter. I mean, would it be a DIY Striped Daisy Planter without some mod daisies? I think not.

also, don’t judge me for how gross my glue gun is. I never think to clean it while it’s hot.

And here you have it! A mod DIY striped daisy planter, perfect for a kitchen, countertop, patio or even as a waste bin. Whatever you do, have fun with it.

Ariel - PMQ for two
I am this week’s feature on the @littleyellowcou I am this week’s feature on the @littleyellowcouch podcast and I gotta say - FAN 👏🏻 GIRL 👏🏻 MOMENT. I had been listening since there were 2 hosts, and really got into it when I went full time with the blog during our first year posted to Gagetown. I found my colourful voice, and started making things like this beautiful glossy blue sideboard. 
There wasn’t really anyone else doing “colour” my way in the decor space at that time (everything was white farmhouse). And while there are definitely many more who do it now (and who do it better!), I’ll never forget the freedom I felt when no one was watching what I did. It has been so incredibly bittersweet watching new accounts lap me in a matter of months (and oh so humbling), but I like to think I’m exactly where I need to be. 
My growth has been slow by today’s standards, and I’m ok with it. I still get to do what I love. 
So, if you’ve been following me since then, the very beginning, or last week - stick around! Let’s see what the next stage is like.

JB’s Montessori playroom is looking pretty good, JB’s Montessori playroom is looking pretty good, especially now that all the Christmas decor is gone. Bear in mind, this is what it looks like before a child has actually had a chance to play in it 😂

I think we’ve all been feeling a little powerles I think we’ve all been feeling a little powerless these days, but @laybabylay made a great point in her stories the other day: you can always do something nice. You can buy the order of the person in line behind you at the drivethru. You can donate to charitable organizations doing things you believe in. You can make a meal for your neighbour who might be having a hard time with lockdown. It’s amazing how much better I feel when I do something nice, and I bet you will too ❤️

“Life is what happens when you’re busy making “Life is what happens when you’re busy making other plans” - John Lennon. 😎 As a family who moves a lot, we’re ready for a new chapter/ new house, but I’m not sure if I’ll be able to leave all the memories! We brought June home here 😭 she learned to walk here, and said her first words here. I wonder what other “firsts” she’ll have before we move. [pictured, June in a messy kitchen last year]
