First you will want to decide how you want to design your clay pot and gather your materials
Place the tissue paper on the bottom of the pot
Paint the whole pot with an Americana white acrylic base paint. Let the white paint dry 5-10 minutes.
Paint patio paint onto the area that you will not be using decou page for the tissue paper. Paint 2 more layers onto the same area, allowing it to dry 10 minutes in between layers
Paint the decou page onto the pot and lay the tissue paper on it, press down slowly. Once you put this outside, you can add some wooden numbers to use as an address marker.
