Instructions

 

Paint your own Irish Stones - Step 1 Step 1
Start by selecting stones that are of similar size and shape. Paint the top of them with one coat of Resene Quick Dry.

Once the primer is dry, paint two stones each with two layers of Resene Chetwode Blue, Resene Hot Toddy and Resene Hopskotch. Allow the first coat to dry before applying the second coat.


Paint your own Irish Stones - Step 3 Step 3
Once the paint is dry, use a thin paint brush to paint on the outline of a three-leaved clover with Resene Green House.


Paint your own Irish Stones - Step 4 Step 4
Paint in the bottom half of each leaf with more Resene Green House.


Paint your own Irish Stones - Step 5 Step 5
Finish by painting in the top half of each leaf with Resene Tree Frog.


Paint your own Irish Stones - Step 6 Step 6
For the pot of gold, take a plastic plant pot and give it a quick sand with a medium grit sandpaper and apply one coat of Resene Quick Dry. Once the primer is dry, apply one coat of Resene Apache, and once this is dry, apply two coats of Resene Gold Dust.

Top tip:  Repurpose your finished pot for Christmas with a new design painted in hues like Resene Pohutukawa and Resene Gold.
