Let’s dive straight into making some cute DIY House Number Planters. These cute mint coloured pots were found at my local Kmart to add a bit of colour to our front porch. One of the things my hubby and I love to do is just potter around in the garden. So I couldn’t help myself and had to add a splash of Raggedy Bits to the pots and decided to paint our house number on them!

DIY House Number Planters – Just Pottering Around

Supplies needed:

2 Pots
Transfer Paper
Americana Lamp Black
No 2 Round Brush
Fusion Mineral Paint – Ultra Grip
Fusion Mineral Paint – Tough Coat

Step 1 – Print out your house numbers using your printer. Mix on a tile or a paper plate some ultra grip and black paint until well combined. Trace your house numbers onto the surface of the pots using transfer paper and a stylus.

Step 2 – Using your round brush paint the numbers onto the pots using the lines as a guide.

Step 3 – Let dry and apply the tough coat. Allow curing for 24 hours before putting in your plants.

Just in case you missed how I tinkered around with some tin cans and to turn them into Vintage Farmhouse Planters they make lovely gifts.

I love being in the garden creating a special place to be when things are a little topsy-turvy in my life.

It always calms me and allows me to sort things out in my head peacefully.

Happy Painting!

These are so fun. I need a creative house number idea. I will ponder that but this is terrific and you did a great job. Also…I like the angels. Christmas or not!

Those are so cute. My husband drives for FedEx and just the other day he called me with a great idea for a blog post. Pots for the porch painted with house numbers, because he’d seen them at a customer’s house. He said it helps them when they are busy as a second check that they are at the right address ???? I bet they got their idea from you.

  Hahhahahhaa!! Yes Toni they must of!! These would be very helpful for your hubby while driving around! I know how hard it is to find some houses when I’m dropping clients furniture back after I have painted it!!
