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.

Ariel - PMQ for two (she/her)
Packed-up the bulk of my closet this weekend. It’s funny, with less in there I can see the beautiful wallpaper and lighting more easily. You guys, I am seriously considering a more minimal lifestyle after sorting through WAY TOO MUCH stuff in our storage room. Anyone else a maximalist turned minimalist after a move?

This living room has been so many things to us sin This living room has been so many things to us since we moved in (including the distinction of being the first space we made over, and over). It’s also been a space that evolved with us as our needs changed. And now, while we plan what the next one will look like, I wonder if it’ll have a marble fireplace... probably not.

Her design is clean, bold, and evolves with each house they make a home. If you know exactly who you are and what you’re about, she is one very worthwhile follow. Her meme game is pretty strong too.

JB in her happy place✨ AD: JB LOVES her @wiwiurk JB in her happy place✨ AD: JB LOVES her @wiwiurka_toys triangle (in sunset) and ramp. From the moment we assembled it, she was all over it. We use it to make blanket forts, set obstacle courses, entertain Tina 🐓 , and just hang out on it. It’s kinda the perfect toddler toy.
