4. Let the paint dry and peel off the tape.
5. Dip the eraser end of the pencil into a different colour paint and dab some spots onto the pot.
6. Clean the pencil and use a different colour. Dab 4 dots around each of the previous dots you made to create a flower shape.
7. Allow to dry and it is ready !
