After painting the petite buffet with MMS Ironstone milk paint, I had a little paint left in my jar.  Waste not, want not.  So, I decided to paint a few clay pots.

Here are the tools of the trade.  Some MMS milkpaint in Ironstone, some 7 gypsies and Tim Holtz rub-ons, and let’s just pretend those pots aren’t painted yet 😉

I needed 3 coats of paint to get solid coverage, which is what I wanted.  But this paint dries so fast you can do 3 coats in no time.  I’d paint a coat, go fold a load of laundry, paint another coat, go surf pinterest, paint a 3rd coat, pour a glass of wine.  You get the idea, just multi-task while your paint dries

I did not, however, take time to take photos during the process, so you’ll just have to use your imagination.

Once the paint was dried, I sanded the pots down a little, to give them a distressed look.  Then I just added the rub-ons.  Who doesn’t love a good rub-on?  You can find the Tim Holtz brand at Michaels and Hobby Lobby.

After making sure the rub-on was adhered properly, I went over the entire pot with just a little MMS furniture wax.And voila.  Some sweet little painted pots.
