The kids can have fun making this colourful, hand-painted pen holder pot for Dad’s office or workbench.
Materials and tools needed:
- Newspaper
- Paint brush
- Chalk
- 16cm terracotta pot
- Paint
- Black chalk board paint
- Masking tape
Step 1. Lay out newspaper
First, lay out some newspaper on your work surface so you don’t get paint everywhere.
Step 2. Apply masking tape
Then stick your masking tape just below the pot rim. You can even make some stripe patterns around the base if you like.
Step 3. Paint pot rim
Now take your chalkboard paint and apply a couple of coats to the pot rim.
Step 4. Paint bottom half
While you wait for the chalkboard paint to dry, you can start painting the bottom half with your bright colour.
Step 5. Add a message
Once the paint is dry, you can write a little message to Dad in chalk. This will take pride of place on any Dad’s desk or workbench.
