If you're looking to add some character to your home décor with a rustic touch, distressing ceramic pots is a great way to do it! There are a few different methods you can use to achieve the perfect distressed look.
One popular method is to apply a layer of white paint or primer to the pot, then use sandpaper to lightly distress the areas you want worn. Another option is to start with a dark glaze or color and then randomly rub off some of the paint until you get the desired effect.
Once you've decided on your technique, simply follow the steps below:
1. Start by cleaning your pot with soap and water. This will help ensure that the paint or glaze adheres properly.
2. If using paint, apply one or two coats evenly over the surface of the pot. Allow each coat to dry completely before moving on.
3. Once the paint is dry, begin sanding in small sections until you've achieved the desired amount of distressing. Remember - less is more! You can always go back and add more later if needed.
4. If using a glaze, apply it according to manufacturer's instructions ensuring that all areas are covered evenly. Allow it to set for the recommended amount of time before moving on to step 5.
5. Once the glaze has set, use a soft cloth or sponge dipped in water to gently rub away at random sections until you create the look you want
