10. Painted Terracotta Desk Planter Hub
Terracotta pots are heavy enough not to tip over and provide a charming, warm aesthetic when painted.
- Materials: Small to medium terracotta plant pots with drainage hole plugs, acrylic craft paint, paintbrush, and a matte or gloss acrylic sealer.
- How to Make:
- Wipe down the pot to remove dust and plug the bottom drainage hole using a silicone plug or heavy craft glue.
- Paint the pot with bold checkerboard patterns, delicate botanical leaves, or clean modern color blocks.
- Finish with a clear acrylic sealer to protect the painted design from scratches.
- Fill with stationery supplies.
- Styling Tip: Group two or three varying pot sizes together—a medium pot for tall scissors and rulers, and small pots for paper clips and push pins.
