What You'll Need

• Terracotta Pots (I got min for just under $1.25 at Home Depot.)

• Small Paint Brush
• Light Grit Sand Paper
• Wet Paper Towel

Steps

1. Dampen the edge of your paint brush with the Paper Towel.
2. Dip brush in paint
3. Use the lid or something to get any excess paint off. You do not want a lot of paint on the brush.
4. Run paint brush lightly in a few areas.
5. Then use paint brush to spread paint over this area. Go back and forth Quickly after you have put paint on. (If your paint does not spread easily make brush wet again.) 
6. Repeat these steps until you have gone around the whole pot. 

Tips: Make sure you dab your paint on in different areas and not in a straight line. This will prevent a line of really heavy Paint. However, If you have areas that are heavy or need more distressing just take a light grit sand paper and distress them to your liking.
