Instant Antique Planters for Pennies

Here’s how to turn terra cotta planters into instant antiques for your garden. Get a foam brush and plastic mixing bowl, sand paper, lime powder and a terra cotta pot. Mix lime powder and water like this. Brush it on to coat the entire pot, then let it dry. Sand your pot so it’s lightly coated in some areas and heavier in others. Spray on sealant so your sprinklers don’t rinse off your handy work. Then stand back and admire your antique planter.
