DIY Gold Polka Dot Cactus Planter

We have developed a new obsession lately. We LOVE cacti! I mostly think it is because it is the only plant that we are able to keep alive :) When I found this cute one I decided that we needed a cute pot to put it in.

Here is what I used:

  • pot/planter
  • cactus
  • rocks
  • dirt
  • gloves
  • spraypaint
  • paint
  • pencil

First, you'll want to spraypaint your planter. We chose white, but you can use any color that works for the area you plan to use it. Once that dries, use a pencil eraser and paint (we used gold acrylic paint that you can purchase at the craft store) to put on your polka dots.

Once all of your paint dries, place several rocks at the bottom of the pot. This helps with drainage. Next add your dirt. Use a glove to remove your cactus from its container and break up the dirt a bit around the roots, and place your in your cactus. Find an area you can put this planter to add a pop of sunshine :) xo, Britt + Sky
