A Fun Project!

Warning! If you are a perfectionist, do not attempt this project.




Here is a fun, semi easy project created with a left over, old dirty plastic window box insert. But, if you are a perfectionist, you might not want to try this the way I did it-lol!




First I scrubbed the container with soapy water and let dry completely. Then I applied blue painters tape, where I wanted white stripes to appear. To get a semi even distance between stripes, I applied two small pieces of painters tape between my stripes. See picture below.





Now, I didn't measure the circumference and divide to get it totally even....I just winged it. After the stripes were taped down all the way around, I removed the spacing pieces of tape. See below.








Because this container is plastic, I bought paint made specifically for plastic.





I sprayed two light coats all around. Then I removed the blue painters tape, when it was dry.

If you click on the pictures to enlarge, you will see there was a raised design on the planter box. The red paint leaked through the sides of the tape where there were raised edges. But I figure, when the petunias and blue daze start trailing in the next week, the little oops parts will be covered with pretty flowers.

This is going on my front porch, and I will show you where on June 1st when I participate in Rhondi's Porch Party!
