Above in the border are pictures of last year’s entries. In the center is the winner from
Collierville Middle School. It was painted with the Collierville Dragon’s mascot. Please
be as creative and colorful as you want. The technique for preparing the pots to take
paint is below:
Preparation should involve a clean, dry surface. Use a sealer both inside and out. Two
coats of a spray sealer inside will help keep moisture from bubbling the outside paint. A
coat of sealer or solid paint color can be the base before you paint the design on the
outside.
Paints can be regular water soluble acrylics or the ones designated for outdoor use.
The small bottles are sold in craft stores. More than one coat helps the paint last and
keep the color.
Lastly, seal the outside design with two or three coats of a spray acrylic clear coat.
