3 Tips for Styling Planters

 

 

 

Planter Tips Header

 

 

 

We’re so excited for spring, and we know you are, too. And we have the perfect way to get in on it: painting your own Color Me Mine ceramic planter! Whether you’re looking for a planter to spruce up your office desk or to give your home’s front porch a little extra color, we’ve got a piece of pottery that will meet your needs.

 

We’ve seen the most adorable Instagrams of people painting these planters, and we think it’s a trend that’s here to stay! Let our pottery projects inspire your inner artist to make a one of a kind planter, like Chill Vibe Planters or Drippy Abstract Planters.

 

Whichever location you go to (find your local studio here!) they’ll each have a different selection of the cutest and most stylish planters for every green thumb: little geometric pots, tall elegant vases like Be Kind Vase, or even something as simple and sweet as Monstera Mug! Just about any vessel can become a planter with the right amount of love and creativity. But what if you’re not quite sure what to do with your pottery once you’re finally done painting it? Here are three tips for coordinating with your existing home decor:

 

 

#1 Don’t sleep on neutrals.

 

Pick a neutral color to be an accent on your design that will match whatever else is in your home, like white or black. This will help the plant stand out more, while letting the colors of the flower(s) and leaves do the talking!

 

 

Neutrals can be bold

 

 

 

#2 Level Up – No Pun Intended! 

 

Experiment with different heights when arranging your plant babies for the greatest impact. Stack them on books, boxes, or even mix and match planter stands with furniture for an instant cozy and eclectic effect. 

 

 

 

 

#3 Small space, big impact. 

Collect small assortments of planters in tight spots to bring life(literally) to a once dull surface. Back corner side table lacking diversity? Foyer crescendo not giving your entryway the wham bam it so deserves? Display your tiny but mighty ceramic planters in little groups to bring an expertly styled look in a snap.

Passover Pottery

Painting Passover designs on pottery is a wonderful way for kids and teens to engage with Jewish traditions by expressing their creativity in a meaningful way. From painting colorful Seder plates to an Matzo Mouse, children can let their imaginations run wild as they express their creativity through art.

 

Using bright colors, kids can create their own versions of traditional Passover symbols such as the Star of David, the Ten Plagues, and the Afikomen. The process of painting on pottery helps develop fine motor skills and a sense of pride in their artistic abilities. Plus, the finished products make great keepsakes that families can treasure for years to come.

gemini horoscope

GEMINI (May 21 – June 20)

 

Adventurous Gemini is usually up for anything, wherever – and whenever! Your curious and laidback nature make you the perfect road trip partner. Paint a piece of pottery like Road Trip that maps out your favorite spots and show it off to your friends and family!

 

 

 

CANCER (June 21 – July 22)

 

Cancers are loyal and sympathetic before anything else, making them the ultimate dog’s best friend. When you aren’t helping your loved ones or engaging in an authentic, emotional conversation, you’re probably relaxing at home. Paint a paw print design with you favorite furry friend plate or dog bowl that will make you smile every time you see it!

 

 

LEO (July 23 – August 22)

 

The trailblazers of the zodiac, you are bold, ambitious and proud to be exactly who you are. Thinking out of the box is second nature, so a Gummy Bear Bank is just the thing to set you apart from the others. Grab your friends and head into a studio to choose from over 50 bright and cheerful colors. Only one question left, which color will you choose? 

 

 

VIRGO (August 23 – September 22)

 

There are so many words to describe the practical Virgo: analytical, smart, and hardworking to name a few! Your natural kindness and attention to detail make you the perfect match for a design that requires sophistication and precision. The Mosaic Mandala takes a lot of effort, but the finished product is so rewarding!

 

 

LIBRA (September 23 – October 22)

 

Libra, you are a peace and harmony focused air sign.  All throughout the histories of several cultures, lemons have symbolized the awakening of positive energy and the repelling of negative energy.  A bright and cheerful Lemon Wedge plate reflects your social and sensitive nature.

 

 

 

SCORPIO (October 23 – November 21)

 

Scorpio, oh, Scorpio! Powerful, valiant, and passionate, you possess a wayward intensity for everything and everyone you love – just like a magical unicorn. Bring in your friends or even a date, and paint a Unicorn design as gorgeous as you are. 

 

 

SAGITTARIUS (November 22 – December 21)

 

If you’re not living a life of creativity and imagination, are you really living? You, Sagittarius, are a generous soul whose optimistic and forthright attitude are as refreshing as a slice of watermelon on a hot summer day.  🎶 Watermelon sugar 🎶 your way into a studio and paint your own set of Watermelon Bowls in colors as bright as you!

 

 

CAPRICORN (December 22 – January 19)

 

The Capricorn personality is independent, disciplined, steadfast and resourceful. Capricorns assess the situation, make a plan and stick to it – which is why a more complex design suits you to perfection. The Leafy Charcuterie Board doubles as a work of art AND serving platter, but will require patience and persistence to paint this piece of pottery.
