- old tea tin can or a regular plant pot
- spray paint and primer
- gold leaf and gold leaf glue
- paint brush for applying glue and brush to apply and remove gold leaf
- First, prime the plant container. Follow directions on the bottles.
- After the primer is dry, spray a couple of coats on the container, again following directions of the spray paint.
- Once the paint has dried, paint the gold leaf glue onto the container. You want to achieve the marbled look so you don't need a perfect layer of glue. Coat the container with glue haphazardly; thin areas of glue to thick, have some drips and some splatters as well.
- You want the glue to get tacky, so don't let it dry completely (check directions of the gold leaf glue).
- Once the glue is tacky apply gold leaf. Use a brush to help lay the leaf down. Again you are going to a marbled look so this process should not be perfect. Use the brush to also remove specks or bigger pieces of gold leaf.
- Repeat steps 4 & 5 until you achieve the look you want.
