Paint Dipped Concrete Pot

My friend Stacy over at Not Just a Housewife has a really fun challenge going on called the StyledX3 Challenge. Three bloggers, including Stacy, style the same product in their home and then we all post on the same day. For our challenge, Stacy chose this small concrete planter. Are you ready to see how we all styled it?

DIY Paint Dipped Concrete Pot

I’m so excited about the item Stacy chose for this challenge, the concrete goes perfectly in our home and is just my style. I chose to give it a paint dipped look that was really easy to achieve!

Before PlanterWe started with these basic concrete planters, they are small and oh so cute.

Concrete Planter TapedI used ScotchBlue Painter’s Tape with EdgeLock to create a large triangle on the pot.

Panting potsThen, gave it a few coats of white acrylic paint. I don’t plan on using these outdoors, otherwise I probably would have gone with outdoor paint. 

Rocks under soilI’ve had my experience with succulents, both good and bad. I’ve discovered that they actually survive a little better when I place rocks in the bottom of the soil to helps with drainage. I am no gardening expert, but it seems to help.

And now I have my cute little pot that works so nicely in our home!
