You are so welcome, Kitty! :) You have been one of my biggest supporters in this adventure. I am so glad you (Charlie and Gumtree too) liked them.
can i be cheeky and ask how you did this.... i really want to have a go. xxx
Jo, you're not being cheeky at all! :) I apologize for the delay in response. The process is not difficult at all--I promise. For this, I used plastic flower pots.
They were pretty sturdy plastic pots too.Gave them a quick sand paper rub, then I sprayed a paint primer for plastic. You may not really need this step,yet I felt safer. Let that dry, and then PAINT. The colors I used were acrylic craft paint, with some maybe all in the metallic shades--especially the blue one. If I remember right, I painted the base coat, let it dry, then sponge painted on the rest. Once it dries, I sprayed with an acrylic sealer--and then you have it!! Good luck!
