Hot chilli pot

It’s easy to turn a humble terracotta ‘long tom’ planter into a fabulous hot chilli pot – with a little bit of help from Resene.

Resene art with Mark Rayner - Project 69

Difficulty level: Moderate

To get the look: Mark painted the outdoor table with Resene Enamacryl tinted to Resene Soft Apple.
