With spring just around the corner, I'm always looking for fun ways to bring some life and color into the home! With the terrazzo look so on trend right now, we used that as inspiration to create these hanging planters. So today, I'm showing you how to make a pretty faux terrazzo planter using paint pens! It's super simple but still looks like something you'd find in a boutique shop! Here's how…
You'll need…
– hanging planter
– paint pens
– nail polish remover
– cotton balls
Here's how…
1. To create a terrazzo look, draw irregular/abstract dots to mimic the irregular shape of terrazzo. Don't be afraid to go free-hand because you can easily remove any marks you don't like with a bit of nail polish remover and a cotton ball!
2. Let dry 20 minutes.

Super cute idea!! Good future craft idea for myself and maybe my daughter-when she’s old enough.

Hi, where did you find the planters?
Click on the words hanging planter under the materials used and itโs linked directly to where she got them from.
Love these!
Either in a grouping or a single in a small spot, they’re cheery and easy. I need to marry a few bright colors, including aqua and coral, so this may be my vehicle.
What pens did you use please ?..?
Ha??just seen the link ! Doh
