How to make

Step-1
Paint your chosen acrylic onto your terracotta pot; it should be touch-dry after around 20 minutes. Add one or two more coats as needed, until the pot is completely covered, including the inside lip. Leave to dry.

Step-2

Cut around the jewellery tattoo/s of your choice, peel off the protective plastic film from the front and place it onto your pot. Take note! Once you have removed the film, the tattoo becomes partially adhesive; be careful in your placement as moving it at this stage can leave some of the tattoo behind.

Step-3
Use a damp sponge to dab the tattoo until the backing paper is soaked. Keep pressing the paper for up to 30 seconds to make sure that the tattoo has completely stuck to the pot, then carefully peel the backing paper off.

A couple of pointers.. Step-1

If you plan to use these pots in the garden, I recommend that you seal them first with a couple of coats of Mod Podge to help protect your handiwork from the elements!

Temporary tattoos are meant to be used on a flat surface – which means that you may get the occasional wrinkle or bump; just smooth them out carefully with your finger.
