This post is in partnership with DecoArt but all opinions are my own.

I have a strange addiction to share – I’m addicted to painting flower pots each spring 😉  This year, I used Americana Decor Curb Appeal paint and had a lot of fun with a sponge brush.

I started with giving the pots a base coat.  I then took the paint and added one part yellow and one part orange onto my paint pallet.  Sponge Painted Flower PotsI took my sponge brush and dipped it in so part of the brush was on the orange and part on the yellow.  I dabbed off the excess on a bit of cardboard.Taking the sponge brush, I dabbed it quickly onto the pot to make a starfish shape. I then dabbed it onto the pot.  For the first pot, I made a starfish design.  Sponge Painted Flower PotsSponge Painted Flower Pots
