Terracotta planters are the perfect accompaniment to a bland and boring patio. Introducing a couple of ceramic pots bursting with bright blooms creates a sense of serenity, but most gardeners would agree that they tend to look better with age. The neat appearance of a fresh orange planter doesn't have quite the same effect as a rustic equivalent with an aged patina, but buying vintage isn't always easy (or cheap).
Lucky for us, we found an inexpensive DIY that transforms any generic terracotta pot into a charming planter with visual appeal. So if you're interested in container gardening but looking for something that brings in a bit of character instead of a plain terracotta planter, this DIY couldn't have come at a better time. All you need are a couple of supplies that are easily fetched at any household store and before you know it you'll have a set of stylish aged pots to rehome your favorite blooms.
