Boot Planter

 

This boot planter is in need of a makeover.

It looks a little worse for wear.

A view from the top where you put the plant in.

Gave everything a coat of ivory powertex.

Put it outside in the sun to dry.

Sprayed with brown / natural bister and heated with a hairdryer.

I also gave the bottom a coat as it was leaking!

Then I wiped some of the bister back.

I'm luckily enough to have red and black powertex, so I painted the ladybirds in it.

And I also have green and yellow.

Then I added copper wax to the eyelets and green to the leaves.

Then I sprayed the piece with fixative to fix the bister before I gave it all a coat of varnish.
