Making art out of our mistakes with an IKEA watering pitcher.

As many of our readers know, the Midwest Makeover team recently got to tour the new IKEA Merriam store through the press preview and buffet lunch and one of the items that were handed out to everyone was a fun, plastic watering pitcher.

A few days later, I noticed that my watering pitcher (a white one) that was in my sun room, had splatters of paint on it. After asking my 9 year old twin daughters, it became clear that they had been a little overambitious with a previous art project.

I thought, "what a great idea" when I saw it and thus, this video was created. Enjoy!

Now if you decide to do something like this, you might like to know that these pitchers are $.99 at IKEA (great for an art class) and also we recommend that an adult puts a coat of polyurethane over the top of it to prevent smearing paint when you need to wash it.

Let us know if you decide to decorate your own IKEA pitcher!
