Looking for a creative way to document the cherished members in your family? Many years ago we started a tradition in my home to paint the names of our family on a metallic pot from our home and then we hang or place it in our front door as a "welcome to our home." Over the years, our family has expanded, so I recently re-painted our families names on a metallic pot. It turned out even prettier than before so I had to share!
I started by cleaning the entire pot with warm soap and water. Then I spray painted the back of the pot copper with dark black edging. Once that dried I pulled out my metallic sharpie markers in silver, copper, green and teal.
I hand wrote the names in the center in silver with black accents and then embellished the edges of the entire pot with geometric patterns (free-styled) in a combination of colors!
As the family expands, more names will be added :)
I hope this inspires you to make a family keepsake that is personalized with your own creative touches! I'm sure it will become a tradition in your home like mine for many years to come :) - Vani
